+====== Navigating a Route ======
 ----
-Unlike point-to-point navigation where the route is calculated by Locus Map and is based on external navigation service, recorded or imported tracks or pre-planned routes stored in Data manager are autonomous items. Online calculating is needed only for rendering voice commands in case the route does not contain them itself.
+Unlike in **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point|Navigate to...]]** feature where the route is calculated from start to end by a routing service, **Navigation along a route navigates recorded tracks, imported or planned routes** stored in your Locus Library. This is how it works:
+===== 1. Select a Route =====
-<wrap important>To use this method successfully, you need GPS location fixed on or nearby the route.</wrap>
+  - **select a route** on the **map** or in the **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:management|track/route manager]]** and tap it to display its [[manual:user_guide:tracks:about#track_route_detail_panel|detail panel >>]]
-===== Instructions =====
+  - tap navigation button in the bottom bar and select **Navigation**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace6.gif?nolink |}}
-  * **select a route** from the Data manager and tap it for [[manual:user_guide:tracks:management#track_detail_screen|details >>]]
+  - check **Navigate from selected point** if you want to be navigated from the place you tapped. Otherwise, you'll be navigated from the nearest place on the route to your actual location\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace34.jpg?nolink |}}
-  * tap {{:manual:user_guide:ic_directions_alt.png?nolink&30|}} navigation button in the bottom panel and select **Navigation**{{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigace6.png?nolink |}}
-  * OR **tap a route** displayed on map > tap {{:manual:user_guide:ic_arrow_simple_right_alt.png?nolink&30|}} button on the label > select {{:manual:user_guide:ic_directions_alt.png?nolink&30|}}Navigation/guidance > **Navigation**

+Locus Map **automatically generates navigation commands** along the route in places of the most remarkable direction changes.
-Locus Map automatically generates navigation commands along the route. If you need to be navigated in **reverse direction**, make a copy of the route and check both the "Change track orientation" and "Generate commands" options in the copy dialog.
+==== Reverse direction ====
+To be navigated in **reverse direction** of the route, check "Navigate reversely":\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace33.jpg?nolink |}}
+<WRAP center round important>
+Navigation commands on a reversed route may not reflect traffic situations accurately. **Recommended for offroad use only!**
 </WRAP>
-<WRAP center round tip>
+==== Link with presets ====
-If you want to be navigated strictly along the selected route (e.g. on a bike), check "Strict route navigation" and un-check "Automatic recalculation" in the [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings|navigation settings]].
+If you need to **re-set Locus Map temporarily during the navigation** (e.g. shift the cursor, turn map rotation on, the screen permanently on, etc.), **select from your app [[manual:user_guide:settings:presets|presets]]** here:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:naviset06.jpg?nolink |}}
+===== 2. START Navigation =====
+  * **At the start of the route**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace29.png?nolink |}}
+  * **Away from the start of the route**\\ In this case Locus** guides you to the nearest point on your route**.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace30.png?nolink |}}
+  * **Away from the start of the route - auto recalculation**\\ If you have **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings#auto-recalculation|auto-recalculation with route priority]]** set, the selected routing service **calculates route to the nearest point on your route**.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace31.png?nolink |}}\\ <WRAP center round important>
+**Auto-recalculation with point priority ignores your selected route and creates a new route to the nearest via point or directly to the finish.**
 </WRAP>
+==== Adding via points during navigation ====
+You can add a via point to the route when the navigation is in progress:
+  * Tap a **[[manual:user_guide:points:locus_maps_pois|LoPoint]]** or a **[[manual:user_guide:points:management|user point]]** on the map or in the **[[manual:user_guide:points:management|Library]]** or **long-press any place on the map**
+  * Tap the **add-to-route** icon the bottom menu:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace37.jpg?nolink |}}
+**The point is added to the route.**
