-will be added soon...
+----
+===== 1. Open the Premium screen =====
+There are several options to open it in the app, choose which suits you the best:
+==== Go Premium! ====
+The primary link. You can find it in the **[[manual:user_guide:settings:mainmenu|main menu]]**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium01.jpg?nolink |}}
+==== Inactive Premium features ====
+They are scattered all over the free app, for example here:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium02.jpg?nolink |}}
+Tapping such a feature opens a box with detailed information about it:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium03.jpg?nolink |}}
+You can either close the box or **continue...**
+===== 2. Select your Premium plan =====
+Browse the options or tap the selection button right away:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium04.jpg?nolink |}}
+After signing up or in the **[[manual:user_guide:locus_store:user_profile|Locus account]]**, choose your plan - **Silver** or **Gold**. Premium annual subscription is the default choice:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium05.jpg?nolink |}}
+You can also select other options - shorter subscription or one-time payments:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium06.jpg?nolink |}}
+===== 3. Subscribe or purchase =====
+All payments are processed by Google Play with the **[[https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2651410|options available in your country]].**
+<WRAP center round tip>
+  * Monthly subscriptions can be **paused for up to three months**. Google Play offers this option when you cancel the monthly subscription.
+  * When your Premium plan is active, you have a few options to **change the plan**, [[manual:faq:subs_higher|see >>]]
+</WRAP>
+There are two **alternative options** for getting the Premium:
+==== Premium for LoCoins ====
+If you have enough LoCoins you can purchase Premium for them. You can get LoCoins in a few ways:
+  * **[[manual:user_guide:locus_store:locoins#purchase|buying them]]** in your user profile
+  * **earning them** as a bonus for your **[[manual:user_guide:points:locus_maps_pois#user_photos|photos documenting LoPoints]]**
+  * as a **reward** for other contributions to the Locus community - e.g. Locus **[[manual:about:translation|translators]]** and other supporters\\
+{{ :manual:user_guide:premium08.jpg?nolink |}}
+==== Premium Voucher ====
+=== Purchase ===
+If you need to avoid purchasing or subscribing to Premium via Google Play you can buy a one-year voucher at our **[[https://www.locusmap.app/vouchers/|website]]**.
+=== Sponsoring ===
+Our company gives away vouchers on various occasions, e.g. to **[[https://www.locusmap.app/support-for-search-and-rescue/|supported Search&Rescue organizations]]**.
+==== How to redeem a voucher ====
+=== Locus account ===
+Open your Locus account in the app and tap **Redeem voucher**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium10.jpg?nolink |}}
+=== Go Premium ===
+Open the app **main menu > Go Premium > Select Premium plan**. The voucher code is inserted here:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium09.jpg?nolink |}}
+After inserting the voucher the app directly **re-initializes in the Premium mode.** When the voucher expires the app returns to its basic mode.
+=== Locus Map Web ===
+  * open [[https://web.locusmap.app|web.locusmap.app]]
+  * open your **user profile** > **manage account**
+  * click **Redeem voucher** and enter the code:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium11.jpg?nolink |}}
+<WRAP center round important>
