with the use of the mobile software. After all, one of the objectives
of a beta release is to distribute the software to a broader circle
of users using different Android devices and configurations in order to
iron out any bugs, errors or inconsistencies. Please report
such issues by email to <a href="mailto:subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org">subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org</a></td>

<div class="paragraph"><p>Welcome as a user of <em>Subsurface</em>, an advanced dive logging program with
extensive infrastructure to describe, organize, interpret and print scuba
and free dives. <em>Subsurface</em> offers many advantages over other similar
software solutions, including compatibility with Windows, Mac-OS/X, Linux (many
distributions) as well as Android. In addition, <em>Subsurface</em> allows downloading dive
information from most dive computers. <em>Subsurface</em> software is open-source.</p></div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_introducing_subsurface_mobile">1. Introducing Subsurface-mobile</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p><em>Subsurface-mobile</em> is an extension of <em>Subsurface</em> that runs on laptop and
tabletop computers. It runs on Android smartphone and tablet devices and is a
tool for viewing or sharing dive information at dive sites. It also allows
the gathering of GPS locations where dives are performed.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>While <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> allows one to enter and save dive information
using an Android device, users of <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> typically use the
mobile app as an extension of the laptop/desktop version of <em>Subsurface</em>.
This allows the storage of dive logs on the Internet and which
can be shared by the Android version as well as the desktop version.
While the desktop version of <em>Subsurface</em> shows much more detailed information
for each dive, the mobile version allows one to have a more accessible dive log
on a dive trip, useful for proving dive experience to dive shops or to review
previous dives. <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> allows one to:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
Download existing dive log information from the Internet.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
View this information on an Android device.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Edit many of the dive log data fields, e.g. divemaster, buddy,
equipment or notes about a dive.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Create and add new dive records to one’s dive log.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Store the updated dive log on the Internet.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Record, store and apply GPS positions of dives.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
View the localities of recorded GPS positions and of dives
on a map.
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>These items are discussed in greater detail in the following text.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_installing_em_subsurface_mobile_em_on_an_android_device">2. Installing <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> on an Android device</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Install <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> from the Google
Play Store. Search for <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> and install it.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_using_em_subsurface_mobile_em_for_the_first_time">3. Using <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> for the first time</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Upon starting <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> for the first time, a Subsurface
splash screen is shown while the program loads. On some devices this
may take several seconds. After loading, the <em>landing screen</em> appears
(see image on left, below). There are three options.</p></div>
<div class="imageblock" style="text-align:center;">
<div class="content">
<img src="mobile-images/landingscreen.jpg" alt="FIGURE: Mobile landing screen" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Since <em>Subsurface</em> is largely dependent on a dive log saved on the Internet,
select the top option "Connect to Cloudstorage" and enter an email address
and password for access to the <em>Subsurface</em> Internet storage server. If
you do not have credentials to log in, this is obtained through the
desktop version of <em>Subsurface</em>. When entering a password, it is possible to check
a checkbox that enables the text of the password to be shown. Checking the
check box labelled "Remember" allows <em>Susburface-mobile</em> to keep the
credentials for subsequent logins (see image on right, above).
Having entered the credentials, tap "Save".
<em>Subsurface-mobile</em> attempts to download the existing dive log from the
Internet server. Appropriate messages are shown onscreen. Finally
a list of dives are shown (image on left, below).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>For the beta release, do not choose the options "Transfer from dive computer" or "Add dive manually"</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_local_copy_of_the_dive_log_and_synchronisation_with_internet">4. Local copy of the dive log and synchronisation with Internet</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Once the dive
list has been downloaded from the Internet, <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> keeps a local
copy on the Android device. This means that, if there is no Internet connection
at a dive site, one can still access the local copy and view and manipulate
dive information. If there is Internet connectivity, <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> accesses
the Internet-based dive log to verify that the local copy is still the
same as the Internet-stored copy. If not, the local copy is synchronised with the version on
the Internet.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_the_action_button">5. The Action Button</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>At the bottom of of most Subsurface-mobile screens is a round button that provides
information and enables several actions. The Action Button often has one
or more triangular arrow points. Arrows alongside the <em>Action Button</em> indicate
drag movements that are available by dragging the <em>Action Button</em>. Arrows indicate
that one or more <em>Action Screens</em> are available(i.e. menus that become visible as side
panels) On the other hand icons inside the <em>Action Button</em> indicate
specific actions that can be performed by tapping the button. Examples of different
formats of the <em>Action Button</em> are presented in the images below:</p></div>
