-====== AlpineQuest 1.4 Online Help ======
-Welcome to the AlpineQuest Online Help for 1.4 versions.
-{{:icon_help.png?nolink}} If you don't find your answer in these pages, or if you have any question or suggestion, visit our support forum: [[http://www.alpinequest.net/forum/|www.alpinequest.net/forum/]].
-{{:icon_help.png?nolink}} Don't forget to have a look at the [[en:help:faq|AlpineQuest FAQ's]].
-Use the menu on the right of this page to get some help on a particular feature.
-====== Using AlpineQuest ======
-{{ :en:help:1.4:src_canvas.png?nolink|}}
-The default view of AlpineQuest is the map canvas. This is the view displayed when you start the application.
-Various items are displayed on it to help you achieving your task efficiently. Most of them can be displayed or hidden depending on your will.
-===== The map =====
-The //current map// {{:icon_01.png?nolink|}} covers all the screen. By default, the system top toolbar is hidden (this can be changed in the Preferences). Press the device ''**Menu**'' button to display it.
-If your device supports multi-touch, you can use two fingers to zoom in or out the map view.
-===== The features menu =====
-The //features menu// {{:icon_02.png?nolink|}} is displayed at the bottom of the screen. All functionalities are sorted in five categories called features. There is one menu button for each feature.
-  * Press on a menu button to display its sub-menu that lists main functionalities for that feature;
-  * Long-press on a menu button to call the first functionality of the sub-menu. For instance, long-press the first menu button to reduce the features menu.
-===== The information boxes =====
-Some //information boxes// {{:icon_03.png?nolink|}} can be displayed at the top of the screen. They are all related to a particular feature, you can choose to display or hide them from the related sub-menus.
-===== The zoom buttons =====
-You can use the //zoom buttons// {{:icon_04.png?nolink|}} to change the zoom level of the current map (if it has multiple levels).
-When you are displaying the first or the last zoom level, the buttons can also automatically load a new map that best fits the new level of details asked.
-===== The zoom slider =====
-The //zoom slider// {{:icon_05.png?nolink|}} allows you to finely change the zoom value. Once a new map level is available for the new zoom value, it is automatically displayed. The zoom slider will only change the zoom value for the current map, and never loads a new map like the zoom buttons.
-You can change the range of the zoom value controlled by the zoom slider. It can either:
-  * Controls the zoom value for the current map zoom level. In this case, use the zoom buttons to display another zoom level;
-  * Controls the zoom value for all the zoom levels of the current map;
-  * Controls the zoom value for the entire zoom range supported by AlpineQuest.
-By default, the zoom slider is hidden. Use the AlpineQuest preferences to display it.
