 ===== Global =====
-==== Run Locus Map as service ====
-Increases system priority of Locus Map and secures it against automatic system task killing (unfortunately, not always, [[manual:faq:gps_lost_fix_android6|see >>]]).
 ==== Default directories ====
 Allows customizing Locus Map default working directories.
-=== Root directory ===
+=== Set the main directory ===
-It is highly recommended to install and keep Locus root directory in your device's **inner memory**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:settings:settings_53.png?nolink |}}Other ways are either **impossible** (external SD card root directory since Android 4.4.2) or you can **lose your data (tracks, points, maps...) upon un(re)install** (external SD card Android-dedicated directory)
+<WRAP center round important>
-=== Working directories ===
+**Android 11+**
-Beginning with Android 5.0 it is possible to move /mapsVector/, /SRTM/ and /Backup/ directories to external SD card and redefine path to them here:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:settings:settings_54.png?nolink |}}
- <WRAP center round tip>
+The app is forced to have the main directory in its **private folder** in ///Android/data/// system directory.
-**Recommended setup of working directories for users of external SD cards are [[manual:faq:use_sdcard_on_kitkat|HERE >>]]**
 </WRAP>
-===== Data import & export =====
+By default, Locus Map Classic main directory is stored in the private directory of your device's **internal storage** - ///Android/data/menion.android.locus.pro/files///. You can move it also to the **private directory** on the **external SD card**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:settings:settings_53.jpg?nolink |}}
+  * tap the selected option
+  * tap "**MOVE**"
+  * the app calculates the size of the data for transfer
+  * app transfers the data to the new location
+  * app requires **restart**
+If you want only to select a different location for the main app directory - **without data transfer** - tap {{:manual:user_guide:ic_more_ver_alt.png?nolink&20|}} menu next to the selected option and then tap **select**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:settings:settings_64.jpg?nolink |}}
+=== Set custom sub-directories ===
+Some sub-directories can be placed out of the default main directory. For example, if you have the main directory in the internal storage, these subdirectories can be placed in the private folder on the external SD card:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:settings:settings_65.jpg?nolink |}}
+  * ///Maps/// - raster maps
+  * ///MapsOnline/// - definition files, temp data of online maps
+  * ///MapsVector/// - vector maps, e.g. LoMaps or OpenAndroMaps
+  * ///SRTM/// - offline elevation data
+  * ///geocaching/// - user images, spoilers, HTML listings, offlinized data etc.
+The only one subdirectory can be placed out of the private directories in the device storage:
+  * ///Backup/// - ZIP files with backup of tracks, routes, points and settings

+<wrap info>The three following options deal with the app data transfer. Relevant only for Android 11+ devices only.</wrap>
+=== Load app data ===
+It searches the device storage for the app data provided it is not in the default main directory. Used in case the user cancels the data transfer after update on Locus Map Classic version 3.56.x.
+=== Unload app data ===
+It moves all data of the app out of its main directory to a selected part of the storage. Used above all when reinstalling the app to prevent deleting the data.
+=== Load Locus Map 4 data ===
+Triggers the process of transferring data from the sister app's main directory to the current main directory.

+==== Run Locus Map as service ====
+Increases system priority of Locus Map and secures it against automatic system task killing (unfortunately, not always, [[manual:faq:gps_lost_fix_android6|see >>]]).
+===== Import & export =====
 ==== Wifi-only upload ====
 Control if you want to spend your mobile data on uploading maps, backups etc.
