Customize your app experience, manage categories, make backups, enable TOTP, and more.

info

Changes you make will only affect your personal account and will be applied whenever you log in.

### About​

In the About section, you can check for updates and toggle the app's dark mode setting to switch the UI theme. You can also import your backup, supporting both legacy json files and new zip archive formats.

tip

When toggling dark mode, if the map tile provider isn't changed manually, it will automatically update to the corresponding dark or light version.

### Account​

The Account section allows you to enable Two-Factor Authentication (TOTP) for enhanced security. You will also need to add your Google API Key here to access Google Maps features within the app.

### Preferences​

In Preferences, you can set your default map parameters, such as the initial latitude and longitude, and choose your preferred tile layer provider. You can also update the currency setting to suit your regional or personal preferences.

- Low Network Mode: Enabled by default, this mode displays Category images instead of individual Place images to reduce network load by avoiding multiple picture downloads.

- GPX Indication: Disabled by default. When enabled, an icon appears in the Place bubble if a GPX file is associated to that Place.

- Filter Default Categories:
  By default, no categories are hidden. You can customize this to automatically hide certain categories and reduce map clutter.

### Categories​

Manage and customize your Place categories in this section. Categories help you organize and filter your points of interest on the map for easier navigation.

note

A category consists of a name, a color, and optionally an image.

You can edit, delete, or create new categories. Upon registration, the default categories are:

- Nature & Outdoor
- Entertainment & Leisure
- Culture
- Food & Drink
- Adventure & Sports
- Festival & Event
- Wellness
- Accommodation

### Backups​

The Backups section allows you to save and restore your data, ensuring your Places, Trips, and preferences are safely stored and recoverable when needed.
