+**[[manual:faq:how_to_navigate_offline|More about routers, routing profiles and their configuration >>]]**
-  * copy them into **/Locus/router/profiles2** directory
-  * restart the app.

 ===== Link with presets =====
 Linking with the app **[[manual:user_guide:settings:presets|presets]]** enables **fast re-setting of the whole app after the navigation start** so that its preferences are **better suitable for navigation**. E.g. cursor is shifted, map rotation is on, the screen is turned permanently on etc. Three most used navigation profiles can be linked - walking, biking and motor vehicle:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:naviset04.gif?nolink |}}
