Application

Settings in the Apps section offer several useful features for customizing the mobile app to fit your individual needs or preferences.

App language

You can display the app interface in one of 19 languages, we continuously update the selection of supported languages. One of the options is to select an automatic setting that sets the app language according to the default phone settings.

Units

Used to set the format of units for:

• Length
  • Distance (km or mi)
  • Altitude (m or ft)
• Speed (km/h or mi/h)
• Weather
  • Wind speed (m/s or mi/h)
  • Rain (mm or in)
  • Snow height (cm or in)
  • Temperature (°C or °F)

Unlock screen lock

The switch allows you to activate the feature to prevent phone lock according to the default phone settings (e.g., after 30 seconds) while using the app. This makes it easier to use the app during navigation when it is desirable for the phone screen to remain on.

Compact search mode

The switch allows you to replace the top search bar with a smaller green magnifying glass icon in the lower right corner of the screen. With the option active, you gain more space for the map itself.

Tracker button in the map

The switch provides quick access to the Tracker feature in the form of a separate button in the upper left corner of the screen. This feature is especially appreciated by users who regularly record activities in the Mapy.com environment and want to have the Tracker readily available.

Suggestions for granting ratings

The switch activates a function where we can ask you within the app to give a rating to places based on your app usage (you either navigated to the place or uploaded a user photo to the place).

Upload photos only via WiFi

Allows you to set whether you want to upload photos only when connected to a WiFi network or also via mobile data. With the option active, you prevent unwanted photo uploads when connected to the mobile data network, saving data tariffs and financial resources.
