-There are two ways how to import items:
+Activating a map item means above all displaying it on the map. There are two categories of map items activation:
-  * **temporary import** - by **tapping an item** it highlights and its content unpacks to the application temporary directory to display or work with. It is possible to unpack other files at once. Re-tapping reverses this procedure and all changes are discarded. Some items are temporarily imported also by a ordinary import with the option "//Only display//" checked. All temporarily imported objects can be removed by the //Clear// button.
+===== Temporary activation =====
-  * **permanent import** - select **Import** from the item action menu, Locus Map screens the imported file and designs the import dialog according to its content - points, tracks or both. Then the process goes on like in the [[manual:user_guide:points:import|points]] or [[manual:user_guide:tracks:import|track import]] and imported objects appear on the map and in the folder structure of point resp. track tabs of the **Data manager**.
+There are several options:
+  * **tapping** {{:manual:user_guide:ic_hide_alt.png?nolink&30|}} **on the item line in folder** - the icon changes to {{:manual:user_guide:ic_visibility_alt.png?nolink&30|}} but you are not moved back to the map screen - you stay to activate more items\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:items:items6.png?nolink |}}
+  * **tapping map preview box in the map item detail screen** - this brings you directly to the main screen with the item centered on the map
+  * **tapping {{:manual:user_guide:ic_visibility_alt.png?nolink&30|}} in the map item detail screen** - the icon changes to {{:manual:user_guide:ic_hide_alt.png?nolink&30|}} and you stay in the map item detail screen.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:items:items7.png?nolink |}}
+**Re-tapping reverses this procedure - the map item is hidden.**
+<WRAP center round tip>
+Some items can be temporarily activated also by an ordinary **[[manual:user_guide:functions:data_import|import]]** with the option //Only display// checked. All temporarily activated objects can be removed by the //Hide temp map items// in the Map items topbar menu.
+</WRAP>
+Active items can be browsed in **Active items** part of the **[[manual:user_guide:mainscr_lpanel|left action panel]]**. You can clearly view what items are loaded, browse their folders and you can easily change their opacity by selecting and moving the slider. **[[manual:user_guide:mainscr_lpanel#active_items|More info >>]]**
