- | //Run at startup//< | + | System settings of GPS in your device are superior to all Locus GPS settings - the system GPS being turned off or if Locus does not have permission for accessing GPS (e.g. for battery-saving reasons) especially in stand-by mode may result in incorrect GPS positioning that influences many Locus features. **Check your system settings first!** |

- | * Always - GPS turns on always when Locus Map is started | ||
- | * Previous state - GPS turns on or stays off according to last Locus Map session | ||
- | * Never - GPS never turns on at Locus Map start | ||

+ | ===== Orientation ===== | ||
+ | ==== Compass ==== | ||
+ | Allows to choose either built-in hardware compass or GPS-calculated azimuth for orientation that is essential for map rotation and the compass screen. | ||
+ | * **Hardware compass** - more suitable for slower speeds, e.g. walking, as it does not require movement to detect direction unlike GPS.\\ <WRAP round important> | ||
+ | * **Orientation via GPS** - more suitable for car navigation due to magnetic components in the car that can affect performance of the hardware compass. | ||
+ | * **Auto-change** - shifts bearing automatically between hardware compass and GPS according to pre-defined critical speed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Use true bearing ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sets navigation by true bearing instead of magnetic bearing. | ||
+ | ==== Compatibility mode ==== | ||
