page is being rewritten


Structure

The main menu consists of:

  • app notification center
  • a grid of buttons triggering the most used features
  • a button opening the complete offer of the app's features and tools
  • Subscription, Locus Store, About app/Helpdesk and Settings buttons.

Notification center

Here the app informs about ongoing processes - downloading maps, elevation data… and also news from our website (can be deactivated in the settings)

The active process is indicated also by a status icon on the main screen:

Individual items in the center can be swiped away except announcements of special actions that have to be confirmed first.

To clear all items in the box, tap the trash can button.

  • confirm by button
  • the red-highlighted buttons disappeared from the menu > more functions

The settings can be changed any time - turn the red buttons into blue and activate them back.
