{{ :manual:user_guide:ic_info_alt.png?nolink|}} ====== Notification center ====== ---- This is the place where **all announcements from Locus app, its developers or various actions** are displayed. E.g. when you download maps, routes or elevation data from **[[manual:user_guide:locus_store:|Locus Store]]**. Or when there are some news on [[http://www.locusmap.eu|Locus website]], or when Locus reminds you of remaining [[manual:faq:free_maps_for_new_users|map gifts]], informs about polls, sends messages from devs etc. Its icon/button appears in the upper left corner of the main screen:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:notcenter01.png?nolink |}}\\ When you **tap** the button you unfold the list of announcements:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:notcenter02.png?nolink |}}\\ The icon/button **changes its appearance according to some actions in background**. E.g. it works as a downloading indicator:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:notcenter03.png?nolink |}}\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:notcenter04.png?nolink |}}\\ Individual announcements can be **swiped away** from the list. **The whole box can be emptied and notification center icon deactivated** by tapping a button in the bottom of the news list:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:notcenter05.png?nolink |}}\\ When nothing is to be announced, the notification center icon/button is not visible.
