-=== Quick Map Switch ===
-A very useful feature of the Maps Manager if you work with various types of maps at once. It offers your last used online maps, nearest personal and vector maps to your position at one tap to switch among them. This setting influences when the Switch appears in the upper left corner of the screen:
+<wrap box>Menu > Settings > Maps > Map control </wrap>
-  * **Never** – the Swich never appears
-  * **Out of map** – the Switch appears only if you are outside of the active map - allows quick map centering or a map change
+===== MAP CONTROLS =====
-  * **Always** – the Switch is always visible on the screen
+=== Map control style ===
+Select mode of basic map controlling - either //Locus Map// mode (double tap showing hidden menu...) or //Google Maps// mode - double tap = zoom in, two fingers tap = zoom out, three fingers tap = hidden menu etc.
+=== Use hardware buttons ===
+Volume controlling hardware buttons can be used to zoom the map.
+Phones with hardware or Bluetooth keyboard can be also controlled by letters **C** - map centering, **D** - display, **G** - GPS, **arrow buttons** - map shift, **+/-** - zooming.
+<wrap tip>There is no need to take your gloves off on cold days!</wrap>
+=== Simple multi-touch ===
+Check if you prefer to disable rotation and panning of the map when pinch-zooming.
+===== MAP BEHAVIOR =====
+=== Enable address display===
+If checked, long-tap any place on the map, Locus Map will try to provide postal or regional address of the place.
+=== Shift map screen center ===
+It moves the map screen center down by 1/4 of the screen. Functional only with the map rotation on. Useful especially for guiding.
+=== Hold map screen center ===
+If you shift the map out of your current position when browsing it, this function centers it back on current GPS location after 5 secs of inactivity.
