====== Presets ======

----
Locus Map is a very **universal app** - it can be set for **many various activities**, and not only the leisure time ones -  it can also navigate in car or help professionals collect geo data or locate targets for rescue squads. This versatility and vast range of features, however, has its drawbacks - using Locus for more activities means a lot of re-setting. Speaking of adjustments to your screen layout, changing type of navigation recalculation, switching vector map themes, increasing map resolution etc.

**With Presets you can reset whole Locus with two taps.**

Using Presets requires some setting in the beginning - above all, we recommend **putting Presets button in the [[manual:user_guide:functions:panel|function panel]]**:

===== Pre-defined Presets =====

When tapping Presets for the first time there are **three pre-defined Presets:**

{{ :manual:user_guide:settings:presets04.png?nolink |}}

  * **1. Default** - contains app settings after the first Locus start with just map centering on\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:settings:presets09.png?nolink |}}
  * **2. Cycling** - map rotation on, location cursor moved to lower 1/3 of the screen, map centering on, hike/bike map theme on \\ {{ :manual:user_guide:settings:presets02.png?nolink |}}\\ 
  * **3. car** - map rotation on, location cursor moved, target-priority auto recalculation on, road theme of maps etc.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:settings:presets03.png?nolink |}}\\ 

**A Preset is activated by tapping it.**
===== Adding new Presets =====

If you want to add another Locus Preset, just save your current Locus settings by tapping {{:manual:user_guide:tracks:add.png?nolink&30|}} in the bottom right part of the Preset box. Then just **rename the new preset**.
===== Editing Presets  =====

Select **edit** in the preset action menu:

the preset switch box opens:

By tapping the blue {{:manual:user_guide:ic_edit_alt.png?nolink&30|}}button in the bottom right corner you get to the preset settings selection menu:

{{ :manual:user_guide:settings:presets08.png?nolink |}}

Presets do not contain all settings options Locus normally offers. There are only the most used preferences that resulted from a user survey.
