 |Active low-power mode|The low power mode avoids using GPS and the gyroscope sensor in situations where a highly accurate location is not strictly necessary (e.g. on cache lists) at the cost of longer fixing times once high accuracy is needed again. It can help to enhance battery life in some situations.\\ We however recommend to keep this option switched off to have the highest possible accuracy which is desirable for Geocaching in general. :-)| |Active low-power mode|The low power mode avoids using GPS and the gyroscope sensor in situations where a highly accurate location is not strictly necessary (e.g. on cache lists) at the cost of longer fixing times once high accuracy is needed again.

 |Force use of orientation sensor|On some devices the regular rotation vector sensor behaves erratically, giving the wrong direction when using the c:geo compass. In this case you can activate this option to instead use the orientation sensor, which may provide better results.\\ We recommend to enable this option only in case of compass problems on your device.| |Force use of orientation sensor|On some devices the regular rotation vector sensor behaves erratically, giving the wrong direction when using the c:geo compass.

 |Enable hardware acceleration|Hardware acceleration renders graphical elements faster on the screen and thus provides a better experience while using c:geo. However on some devices the operating system contains bugs which can make some text appear blurred (notably bold characters). Disable this option only if this happens to you.| |Enable hardware acceleration|Hardware acceleration renders graphical elements faster on the screen and thus provides a better experience while using c:geo.

 |Activate debug log|c:geo can generate a lot of debugging information needed for development purposes. Please use this feature only in case you are asked to send a log to the c:geo developers or you know what you are doing.\\ \\ :!: Activating this setting will affect the stability of c:geo. Please keep debug logging disabled during normal usage of c:geo!| |Activate debug log|c:geo can generate a lot of debugging information needed for development purposes.

 |Create memory dump|This is a development function, which can help to debug special problems in the c:geo memory handling. Using this function is nothing helpful for you, but will only spam your internal storage with a rather huge dump file. So better not use it. :-)| |Create memory dump|This is a development function, which can help to debug special problems in the c:geo memory handling.
