+ | System settings of GPS in your device are superior to all Locus GPS settings - the system GPS being turned off or if Locus does not have permission for accessing GPS (e.g. for battery-saving reasons) especially in stand-by mode may result in incorrect GPS positioning that influences many Locus features. **Check your system settings first!** | ||

+ | ===== Orientation ===== | ||
+ | ==== Compass ==== | ||
+ | Allows to choose either built-in hardware compass or GPS-calculated azimuth for orientation that is essential for map rotation and the compass screen. | ||
+ | * **Hardware compass** - more suitable for slower speeds, e.g. walking, as it does not require movement to detect direction unlike GPS.\\ <WRAP round important> | ||
+ | * **Orientation via GPS** - more suitable for car navigation due to magnetic components in the car that can affect performance of the hardware compass. | ||
+ | * **Auto-change** - shifts bearing automatically between hardware compass and GPS according to pre-defined critical speed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Use true bearing ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sets navigation by true bearing instead of magnetic bearing. | ||
+ | ==== Compatibility mode ==== | ||
+ | Orientation is computed by an alternative method. Suitable for some devices. | ||
+ | ===== Notification settings ===== | ||

+ | ==== Position acquired ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Notifies when your device acquires GPS location. Opens notification settings screen with several options to define the sound and vibration alert (beep, any sound from your phone library…). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Position lost ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Notifies when your device loses GPS location. Opens notification settings screen with several options to define the sound and vibration alert (beep, any sound from your phone library…). | ||

+ | |||
+ | Allows automatic turning on/off of your device GPS unit in order to save the battery life. Pre-defined conditions: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **GPS update interval** | ||
+ | * **Min accuracy** | ||
+ | * **Max search time** | ||
+ | * **Keep auto-off enabled** - keeps GPS auto-off enabled even if Locus Map is active and screen is on. | ||
+ | <WRAP center round alert> | ||
+ | This option is **not available on devices running OS Android 12+** due to its newest restrictions of certain automatic actions running in the background. | ||
