===== Various =====

==== Connect with add-ons ====
[[https://github.com/asamm/locus-api/wiki|Locus API]] for developers enables creating various Locus add-ons for many off-core functions. Most of them need to receive periodical information about map cursor location, GPS, recorded distance etc., for example [[manual:user_guide:geocaching:import#geocaching4locus_add-on|Geocaching4Locus add-on]] that is very important for importing geocaches to Locus Map. 
==== Source of online address search ====
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
  * **MapQuest** - returns less precise data than Google in most cases but is functional on all devices
  * **Bing** - another alternative to Google by Microsoft

==== Audio channel====
Selects audio channel and its volume setting for notifications:
  * **Music stream**
  * **Notification stream**
==== Promo notifications ====
Here you can switch on or off [[manual:user_guide:notification_center|on-screen notifications]] of news from [[http://www.locusmap.eu|Locus web site]] (blogposts about various Locus tricks, new features, maps or traveling tips)
==== Clear temporary data ====
Deletes temporary storage folders:
  * **Temporary files** - deletes cache directory
  * **Cache of online maps** - deletes all cached online map tiles
  * **Unneeded geocaching data** - deletes all cached data of geocache points that have been removed before
  * **Unused attachments** - deletes all data linked to previously removed points

<WRAP round alert >
**Warning**: after performing this procedure all icons will have to be re-uploaded and new map initialization files will have to be created
</WRAP>

==== Reset preferences ====
Resets all settings to default state after Locus Map installation. **Reset does not delete your data - tracks, points nor maps**.
