-===== Storage ===== 
- 
-The application needs to store various data on the user device, including: 
-  * Saved landmarks (waypoints, tracks, etc.); 
-  * Online maps stored areas, so maps can be available offline; 
-  * Onboard map indexes, to improve loading speed; 
-  * Various configuration and cache data, including added maps, favorite map sets, etc. 
- 
-For devices running Android versions less that 4.4, the application will try to detect and use by default the external SD memory card if any. Otherwise, the device memory will be used. 
- 
-For devices running Android version 4.4 and more, the application will use by default the device memory.

- 
-==== Storage on the External SD Card for Android 4.4 and more ==== 
- 
-As of Android 4.4, the memory management has been deeply modified: 
-  * The device memory is called "Primary external memory". This is the main storage memory, used by default by the application. This memory is usually quite large (up to hundred of GB); 
-  * The SD Card memory (available on some devices only) is called "Secondary external memory". This space is not freely editable by applications, only a specific folder can be used, as explained below. 
- 
-=== Set up storage on the SD Card === 
- 
-As explained above, only a particular folder is editable by the application. This folder is: 
-  * **''/Android/data/psyberia.alpinequest.full/''** for the Full (paid) version; 
-  * **''/Android/data/psyberia.alpinequest.free/''** for the Lite (free) version. 
- 
-To set up the storage on this folder: 
-  * Click on the main menu icon {{:icon_01.png?nolink}}; 
-  * Click on the "''**Settings**''" {{:icon_02.png?nolink}} button; 
-  * Select the the "''**Storage device**''" {{:icon_03.png?nolink}} setting; 
-  * Choose the device that matches both your SD card {{:icon_04.png?nolink}} and the folder listed above {{:icon_05.png?nolink}}; 
-  * Validate.
