 ===== Vector maps are rendered within the app =====
 Vector maps like e.g. our [[manual:user_guide:maps_locusmaps|LoMaps]] have a great advantage in their downloading and storage data size but before their display the data must be transformed into graphics within the application. The process of the map rendering is slower than simple displaying raster maps that consist of ready made map tiles (that, on the contrary, are huge). The newer your device is, the faster is the map rendering.
+===== Merged SD card and internal memory =====
+Since Android 6.0 Marshmallow there is a feature called **Adoptable Storage**. It allows a removable microSD card installed on an Android phone to be used as the internal storage. This way you can cross the space hurdle if the phone has a low internal memory.
+However, this feature has a huge drawback if an ordinary slow SD card is used - apps are lagging and overall performance of the phone is low. Including Locus.
+It is, therefore, strongly recommended to **use high-performance and speed SD cards** if you decide to merge your phone storage.

 <WRAP center round important>
 In case you maintain all the principles above and yet, the app is lagging, try to follow [[manual:faq:issue_reporting|these instructions]] are let us know.
