On app deactivation This switch controls whether memory is freed when you
swap to another application. On phones with limited

But if you have ample memory then you can choose Retain

ViewRanger releases as much memory as possible when

can run reliably. This is most noticeable when you return to
ViewRanger and the panorama has to be recalculated.
