/* Interaction */
Under certain circumstances, users might want to specify a manual location instead of using the current location detected by their devices. This can be achieved by scanning an LLA marker in the POI view.
=== LLA only mode button Action items (Android) ===The following action items are available in the POI view's action bar.{| class="wikitable" | width = "25%" style="text-align: center;"|-! Icon !! Item name |-| [[File:UI_Android_LLA_Only_Button_ActivateUI_Android_Action_Layers.jpgpng|thumb46 px|alt=Button to Activate LLA Only Modecenter]] |Button to Activate LLA Only Mode| [[#Layers_button|Layers button]]|-| [[File:UI_Android_LLA_Only_Button_DeactivateSet_compass_offset_intransparent.jpgpng|thumb46 px|alt=Button to Deactivate LLA Only Modecenter]] || [[#Compass_calibration_button|Compass calibration button]] |-| [[File:UI_Android_Action_LLA_Only_Active.png|46 px|center]] || [[#LLA_only_mode_button|Button to Deactivate LLA Only Modeonly mode button]]|-|}
==== Layers button ====[[File:map_layer_dialog.png|thumb|alt=Layer dialog|Layer dialog]]{{Version/AndroidSince|2.5.2}} Geo content can be configured on the server side to belong to a certain layer.By pressing the layers button, a dialog containing all the available layers will be displayed. By checking/unchecking the layers in the dialog box, users can filter out content that belong to the unwanted layers. ==== Compass calibration button ===={{Version/AndroidSince|2.4.1}} This button can be used in order to calibrate the compass, e.g. for a demonstration use case or if it points in the wrong direction.When it is clicked, the compass will behave as if the current heading was north. Technically, as compass offset setting is used in the background.Therefore, in order to use it, do the following:* Turn the device so it looks at where you want it to believe that north is.* Click the button. ==== LLA only mode button ====[[File:UI_Android_Action_LLA_Only_Inactive.png|thumb|alt=Button to Activate LLA Only Mode|Button to Activate LLA Only Mode]][[File:UI_Android_Action_LLA_Only_Active.png|thumb|alt=Button to Deactivate LLA Only Mode|Button to Deactivate LLA Only Mode]]{{Version/AndroidSince|2.4.1}} Sometimes, it is necessary to temporarily turn on [[Location_Manager#Possible_positioning_modes|LLA only mode]]. For example, once the users enter a building where GPS or other locating systems are not reliable enough, they could, however, use the on-site LLA markers to precisely locate themselves. Afterwards, the LLA only mode can be turned off so that the users can continue to use the locating systems outside the building. {{UBIK}} provides a '''LLA only mode button''' in the POI view for scenarios like this {{Version/AndroidSince|2.4.1}}.
When '''LLA only mode''' is '''inactive''', there should be a toggle button in the POI view:
{{Hint|During LLA only mode, {{UBIK}} stops most of its location services. However, services such as GPS require a long initializing time before they can be used. Considering the fact that LLA only mode is often switched on and off for a short period of time, {{UBIK}} keeps such services on "standby" for a while so that the mode switching is smooth and instantaneous.}}
 
 
=== Compass Calibration Button ===
[[File:Set_compass_offset_intransparent.png|thumb|alt=Button to set compass north to the current heading|Button to set compass north to the current heading]]
 
This button can be used in order to calibrate the compass, e.g. for a demonstration use case or if it points in the wrong direction ({{Version/AndroidSince|2.4.1}}).
When it is clicked, the compass will behave as if the current heading was north. Technically, as compass offset setting is used in the background.
Therefore, in order to use it, do the following:
* Turn the device so it looks at where you want it to believe that north is.
* Click the button.
