+\\
+====== Using the application ======
+\\
+The main view of the application is the map. This is the view displayed when you start the application.
+By default, it covers the whole screen, hiding the system status bar (this can be changed in the application settings). Just press the application ''//**main menu button**//'' {{:icon_01.png?nolink}} to temporarily display the status bar.
+{{:icon_help.png?nolink}} You can change the map display resolution from the [[en:help:settings|application settings]].
+\\
+===== The information boxes =====
+\\
+''//**Information boxes**//'' {{:icon_02.png?nolink}} can be displayed in the top-left part of the screen. They are all related to a particular feature, you can choose to display or hide them from the related sub-menu.
+For example, you can change the screen center coordinates format or visibility [[en:help:settings:locations-and-grids|as explained here]].
+\\
+===== The zoom controls =====
+\\
+The zoom controls allow you to change the scale of the map. If your device supports multi-touch, you can use two fingers to zoom in or out. Alternatively, you can use the zoom buttons or the zoom slider.
+The ''//**zoom buttons**//'' {{:icon_03.png?nolink}} allow you to jump to the next scale level of the current map (if it has multiple levels). If no more levels are available for the current map, the application can automatically load a new map that matches the new requested zoom scale.
+The ''//**zoom slider**//'' {{:icon_04.png?nolink}} allows you to finely control the map scale. The scale level of the current map will be chosen accordingly. The zoom slider will only change the scale level of the current map, it will never load a new map like it's the case with the zoom buttons.
+{{:icon_help.png?nolink}} By default, the zoom slider is hidden. Use the [[en:help:settings|application settings]] to display it and configure its behavior.
