Tracks act like breadcrumb trails, allowing you to see where you or another individual traveled in the past. Tracks contain track points, not waypoints or points of interest. They provide a record of where you have been and when to later determine your path and speed.
Locus Map can record tracks and import already recorded tracks from other sources.
Routes are generally made up of a series of significant points along your path. Locus Map will tell you the bearing and distance to the next point in sequence as you navigate along your route. Each point is usually named (in fact, a route is usually just a sequence of waypoints). Routes can be planned directly in Locus Map point by point or Locus Map can calculate it for you.
Actually Locus Map can transform a previously recorded track into a route and navigate along it.

The upper part contains the track name (1), date of creation (2), and basic stats of the track/route (3). Tapping the arrow button on the right maximizes the stats screen:
The elevation chart (4) displays the position of the tapped trackpoint. Maximizing button unfolds the chart to the more detailed version:
The trackpoint is highlighted there too, including related graph values (here with elevation and slope %).

More details emerge when you slide the track detail panel further up:

The way types and surfaces along the route are displayed only if the route is planned in the Locus route planner:
When you tap the way type or surface graph the description is shown. shows the way types/surfaces along the route in %:

When you need to know statistics and charts of a particular part of the track or route, open the track in this tool. It's available in the tool menu:
