+====== Moving Locus to another phone or tablet ======
+----
+You have purchased a new mobile or tablet. Follow the instructions on how to move Locus Map, its settings and all its data (maps, tracks, points) safely into the new device:
+===== Instructions =====
+==== Step 1. - backup ====
+=== Make full backup of your settings, points, and tracks ===
+  * open **[[manual:user_guide:tools:backup|Backup manager]]**
+  * select **Backup all**
+  * **[[manual:user_guide:tools:backup#backup_sharing|share the backup file]]** to some cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive etc.)
+=== Back up your maps ===
+  * open Locus map manager > offline tab
+  * **[[manual:user_guide:maps_offline#cloud_storage_setup|backup all maps]]** that could be lost when the app is uninstalled (especially the raster maps purchased from commercial publishers) to **[[manual:user_guide:maps_offline#cloud_storage_setup|Dropbox or Google Drive]]**.
+<WRAP center round tip>
+You don't have to back up **[[manual:user_guide:maps_locusmaps|LoMaps]]**. These can be re-download from **[[manual:user_guide:locus_store:about|Locus Store]]** for free.
+</WRAP>
+==== Step 2. - installation ====
+  * install the latest version of Locus Map to the new device
+  * start Locus Map on your new device
+==== Step 3. - restore your data ====
+  * open **Dropbox** or **Google Drive** where you backupped the maps and copy the map files to Locus/Maps directory (or wherever else you need - you can [[manual:user_guide:maps_external|add them to Locus as externals]])
+  * re-download LoMaps from Locus Store
+  * go to **[[manual:user_guide:tools:backup|Backup manager]]** and **restore** settings, points and tracks from the cloud
+  * restart Locus Map so that all the backups are properly re-initialized
