+==== The application folder ====
+The application folder is the unique folder used by the application to store all its data on the user device, including:
+  * Stored maps for off-line use;
+  * User landmarks, when using the default landmarks folder;
+  * Imported and exported landmarks, details or map images;
+  * Pictures used in waypoints;
+  * Various technical data.
+This folder is automatically chosen during the first application start, and is usually location on the external SD card (if available) for devices with Android lower then 4.4, or on the device memory (SD card storage behavior has considerably changed on Android 4.4).
