-  * Last updated manual: **2.3.2**
-</WRAP>
-===== Description =====
+----
-  * Since version 2.3.2, Locus offer advanced configuration possibilities through //config.cfg// file placed into **root directory of Locus** on your **card/memory**
+Settings that are not essential for running of the app and overall user experience. Some of these settings were removed from the main settings because of weak usage, some were found redundant and some have purpose only for advanced Locus users.
+==== Activation ====
+  * long press Locus **main menu button**
+  * tap **Expert settings**
+  * Expert settings appears in Locus Map settings
-  * This file is manually created when Locus starts for first (if not exist). Data are loaded at start and flushed in the end back to file, so if this file allow changing some settings that are also changeable in the application, settings will not be lost.
+==== UI/UX ====
+=== Open main menu by dragging ===
+Turning this on enables you to open Locus main menu by swiping your device screen left edge to right.
+=== Confirm on exit ===
+Turn this on if you need confirmation of Locus terminantion after double tapping hardware **back** button.
+=== Default search/sort location ===
+Set your favorite location to search around:
+  * GPS fixed position
+  * Map screen center - cursor
-===== Explanations of some parameters =====
+=== Quick map switch, online maps ===
+Define number of displayed online maps in the Quick map switch selection of last used maps (max 20)
+=== Quick map switch, offline maps ===
+Define the number of displayed maps in the Quick map switch selection of the closest offline maps (max 20)
+==== Maps ====
+=== Hold map center timeout ===
+Define the period of time before your position is automatically centered on the map screen in case **[[manual:user_guide:maps_mainscr_ctrl#controlling_the_map|Hold map center]]** is active.
-==== guiding_path_map_symbol ====
+==== Tracks ====
+=== Fill color of chart with... ===
+Custom settings of track/route chart line colors.
+==== Tools ====
+  * **Scroll to zoom**
+  * **Record sensors data**
+==== Tweaks ====
+  * **Map hardware acceleration**
+  * **Allow login over Google Play Services** - when switched off, only an e-mail login to Locus Store or Live Tracking is possible.
-This parameter allows to define very precisely, shape and size of guiding line. Best is to explain it on default parameter.
+FIXME TO BE CONTINUED... FIXME
-Baisc values are: **-8.0|-2.0|7.0|0.0|-8.0|2.0**
+===== Configuration file =====
-Imagine squared paper. Every two numbers, means X and Y coordinates. So draw them. Result will be as on screen below. With same way, you may draw whatever symbol you want.
+  * Since version 2.3.2 Locus Map offers advanced configuration options through //config.cfg// file stored in **Locus Map root directory** in your phone **memory**
-{{ :manual:customization:config_file_guiding_arrow.png |}}
+  * This file is automatically created during Locus Map first start (if it does not exist from its previous installation). Data are loaded at start and stored back to file in the end, so even if this file allows changing some settings that are also changeable in the application, settings will not be lost.
-===== Examples of some settings =====
+<WRAP center round info>
+As this method has become obsolete and is quite user unfriendly, settings included in this configuration file are going to be moved gradually to the **Expert settings** section above.
