-====== Point To Point Navigation ======+====== Navigate to... ======
  
 ---- ----
 +Standard voice turn-by-turn navigation. Here's how to use it:
 +===== 1. Select target =====
 +Firstly, you have to **tell Locus where you want to go**. 
 +==== Directly on map ====
 +The simplest and fastest way.
 +  - **tap a [[manual:user_guide:points:locus_maps_pois|LoPoint]]**, a **[[manual:user_guide:points|user point]]** or any other point on the map or **hold your finger on the place on map where you want to be navigated to**
 +  - **tap the navigation button** in the bottom bar and select **Navigate to**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace23.gif?nolink |}}
 +==== Other location options ====
 +When you need to define your target location another way, use **location selector**:
 +  - tap //Menu > Navigate to//\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace24.jpg?nolink |}}
 +  - select **[[:manual:user_guide:tools:location|method of defining target]]** of your route:\\  
 +{{  :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace8.jpg?nolink&  }}\\ 
  
-Standard voice navigation as you know it from your car or other applications. Starting and ending points can be selected by various methods of the {{:manual:user_guide:ic_get_location_alt.png?nolink&30}}[[:manual:user_guide:tools:location|Location Selector]] (GPS position, address, tap on map…). Provided you do not use **[[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=btools.routingapp|BRouter]] offline routing service** the navigation is computed on an internet server so the internet connection is needed.+==== Points from the point manager ==== 
 +Use e.g. in case you want to navigate to some geocache from your database:  
 +  - select the point from [[:manual:user_guide:points:management|Point manager]] 
 +  - tap it to display the [[:manual:user_guide:points:management#point_detail_screen|point detail screen]] 
 +  - tap navigation menu button from the bottom panel and select **Navigate to**\\ {{  :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace4.gif?nolink&  }}
  
-There are a few ways how to start navigation to a point: +=== Custom navigation target for repeated use ===
-  * **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point#navigate_to_function|Navigate to]]** function +

 +  - select **custom location** in the next menu: \\ {{  :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace10.jpg?nolink&  }} 
 +  - set the **icon** and **name** of the location (home, work, grandma…) and tap {{:manual:user_guide:ic_get_location_alt.png?nolink&20|}} to select method of defining the target: \\ {{  :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace11.jpg?nolink&  }} 
 +  - **define your target** by showing it on the map, address etc.: \\ {{  :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace12.jpg?nolink&  }} 
 +  - **confirm**. Your navigation destination appears among the location selecting methods: \\ {{  :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace13.jpg?nolink&  }}
  
-===== 'Navigate to' function =====+When you start navigation **next time, just select the target from the grid**.  
 +<WRAP center round tip>

 +  - select via point **location definition** (map center, GPS, address...) 
 +  - via points display **between start and final points** of your navigation route 
 +  - you can **change order** of the via points as well as starting and final points by **dragging them up or down** on the left side\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace26.jpg?nolink |}} 
 +  - you can change names, location of the via points (tap {{:manual:user_guide:ic_get_location_alt.png?nolink&20|}}) or remove them by tapping "x".
