 ^ Icon ^ Function ^ Description ^
-|{{:main_live_default.png?nolink&100|}}|[[livemap|Live Map]]|The live map shows a map around your current location with geocaches marked on it. It can be panned around to see what geocaches are in other locations. You need online network access in order to see the map and the most up-to-date cache locations. Please note that the geocaches shown are subject to filtering, see below for more information.|
+|{{:main_live_default.png?nolink&100|}}|[[livemap|Live Map]]|Shows a map centered on your current location, with nearby geocaches marked on it. You can drag the map to view geocaches in other locations. To see the map with up-to-date geocache locations, you need online network access. The displayed geocaches can be filtered using the Global Cache Type Filter (see below).|
-|{{:main_nearby_default.png?nolink&100|}}{{:main_nearby_disabled.png?nolink&100|}}|[[lists#cache_list|Nearby Search]]|Gives you a list of nearby caches. Unlike the live map, this item starts an online query based on your current location (as acquired from GPS or the network). It does not automatically update when you move. You need to have online network access to use this function.\\ \\ In case you do not have a valid GPS signal or other location information, the menu item will be disabled.|
+|{{:main_nearby_default.png?nolink&100|}}{{:main_nearby_disabled.png?nolink&100|}}|[[lists#cache_list|Nearby Search]]|Lists the nearby geocaches. Unlike the live map, this function creates an online query based on your current location, as acquired from GPS or the network. The query does not automatically update when you move. To use this function, you need online network access.\\ \\ If you do not have a valid GPS signal or other location information, this icon is disabled.|
-|{{:main_stored_default.png?nolink&100|}}|[[lists|Stored Caches]]|Shows your stored caches, ready for offline operation. However, you can use this list not only for offline caching, without network access, but also for online caching as a kind of to-do list. This list avoids unnecessary network traffic and delays. If you have stored geocaches then this symbol shows the total number of stored caches in its top-right corner.\\ You can long press this icon to have direct access to a certain list.|
+|{{:main_stored_default.png?nolink&100|}}|[[lists|Stored Caches]]|Shows geocaches you have stored for offline use. You can also use stored geocaches for online caching, as a to-do list. By storing geocache information, you can avoid unnecessary network bandwidth use and delays. The total number of stored geocaches is shown in the top-right of the icon.\\ If you have organized your stored geocaches into lists, you can long press the icon to jump directly to a specific list.|
-|{{:main_search_default.png?nolink&100|}}|[[search|Search]]|Search for caches by keywords, geo code identification, address, user name, etc.|
+|{{:main_search_default.png?nolink&100|}}|[[search|Search]]|Search for geocaches by keyword, geocode identification, address, user name, etc.|
 |{{:main_any_default.png?nolink&100|}}|[[goto|Go To]]|Navigate to any arbitrary location using the compass, radar, turn-by-turn navigation or any other supported navigation method.|
-|{{:main_filter_default.png?nolink&100|}}|[[globaltypefilter|Global Cache Type Filter]]|Filter the caches shown on the live map, the search and your lists by cache type. Please note that you can either see all caches or only filter on exactly one type of cache. The text under this symbol will reflect the type of filter which is currently active.\\ You can long press this icon to reset the filter.|
+|{{:main_filter_default.png?nolink&100|}}|[[globaltypefilter|Global Cache Type Filter]]|Filter the geocaches shown on the live map, search, and your stored geocache lists by geocache type. You can choose to see all geocaches, or only those of one specific type. The text below the icon indicates the currently-active filter.\\ To clear the filter, long press the icon.|
