+  * //Import//  - launches import of the item, as it is described [[:manual:user_guide:functions:data_import|here >>]]. After the import the item's content does not function as an autonomous object, it is implemented in the application data manageable in the Data manager Points or Tracks tabs.

-==== Top panel ====
+===== Adding new items =====
-  * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_hide_alt.png?nolink&30|}} **Clear** - removes all temporary items from map. Even those that are not listed in the Items tab (imported with //Only display// option checked). This button can be inserted in Function panel for quick use

-Contains **list of folders with items** beginning with the main working folder **MapItems**. When there are no items in this folder, then the list is empty. Subordinate folders queue bellow.

+  - another way is manual adding by tapping {{:manual:user_guide:tracks:add.png?nolink&30}}. The button opens a simple file browser and you can select a file from your phone memory, from external SD card, Dropbox or Google Drive.
