Setting profiles

It would be very useful if we could have profiles in OruxMaps. That would allow us to make separate configurations for different use: hiking, bike, ride, 4x4 off road or similar needs. Then we could simply switch configuration when needed.

Sorry, I do not follow betas as I cannot test them (I have just one device and i need functional OruxPams on it, and as I understood it is not possible to have beta installed paralel to other running version).

I see that you alredy implelnted profiles. That is great!

I have just one suggestion. You've set profiles as independent configuration of all settings. That is understandable. But, my experience with Garmin devices that follow the same principle is not that good. Thing is, that user usually needs just some of the settings different for profiles and most of them should stay same and even if those settings are changed that should work for all profiles.

My suggestion is to add option to set parent profile for a profile. That would allow profile to use all settings from parent except those that are specifically set to be different. So, if some setting is changed in parent profile, it would influence child too.
