Wifi-only data transfer

Control if you want to spend your mobile data on big uploads and downloads - maps, backups etc.

Connect with add-ons

Enables selecting from various address searching engines:

  • Google - default search engine. Returns very precise data but is functional only on devices officially supported by Google and associated with a Google account.
  • GraphHopper - returns less precise data than Google in most cases but is functional on all devices
  • Bing - another alternative to Google by Microsoft

Audio channel

  • Music, video, games, etc.
  • Ringing and other notifications

Reset preferences
