**Android 7+ "Nougat" users**: this feature does not work in Locus Map installed in your external SD memory - your OS does not assign proper permission to it. Move your Locus Map to your internal shared storage:
  * open up Apps in your device Settings and navigate to Locus Map
  * click on Storage and select Change
  * select Internal Shared Storage and then confirm by pressing Move
</WRAP>
==== Always screen on ====

<WRAP round info>The option overrides the Android system screen on/off setting but does not influence the settings made by Locus //Screen on/off control// feature.</WRAP>
Locus Map prevents the phone screen from turning off:
  * **Always** - permanent screen on
  * **When GPS is on** - screen stays on when the GPS is on
  * **During guidance/navigation** - screen stays on when user is navigated or guided to a point or along a track - typical usecase - **car navigation**
  * **When charger is plugged in** - screen stays on only during charging the phone

==== Disable Screen Lock ====
This setting disables your device screen lock in case Locus is active. Other apps remain behind the screen lock. There are three levels of unlocking:

  * **System settings** - nothing is changed, it is necessary to unlock your screen before displaying Locus
  * **Basic screen lock** - only basic phone lock (slider) that just prevents user from accidentally turning the device on is deactivated. If you have your device secured by a password, finger print or a gesture, you have to unlock it in order to work with Locus.
  * **All screen locks** - password, finger print or gesture secured locks are also disabled for easy entering Locus. However, this setting may not work on some devices.

===== Map screen =====
==== Map control style ====
Select mode of basic map controlling:
  * **Locus Map** mode - double tap shows hidden panels
  * **Google Maps** mode - double tap = zoom in, two fingers tap = zoom out, one single finger tap = show hidden panels
==== Use hardware controllers ====
Locus Map can be controlled by local or external buttons and other controllers:
  * **Disabled** - Locus can be controlled only via the device screen
  * **Enabled** - 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. 
  * **Carpe Iter** - mode enabling control via a third party interface
  * **WunderLINQ** - mode enabling control via a third party interface

==== Set content panel ====
Here you can set appearance and content of the left edge panel:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:settings:settings_13.gif?nolink |}}\\ All its parts can be **slid out individually** or the whole panel can be **deactivated**:
