-====== 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 the 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 the navigation menu button from the bottom panel and select **Navigate to**\\ {{  :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace4.gif?nolink&  }} 
 +===== 2. Start navigation ===== 
 +  * the app immediately generates the route by the **last used routing profile** (activity or means of transport) and opens it in the route planner. You can edit the route, add waypoints or change the routing profile (see below). 
 +  * tap the **navigation button** in the top bar.  
 +  * the voice prompt announces the start and **starts navigating**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigace38.gif?nolink |}} 
 +<WRAP center round tip> 
 +The starting point of your route can be re-defined too, just move it on the map or select another location method from the point menu:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigace39.jpg?nolink |}} 
 +</WRAP> 
 +==== Adding via points ==== 
 +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|point manager]]** 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.** 
 +===== Options to do before starting navigation ===== 
 +==== Changing activity or means of transport ==== 
 +By default, Locus Map generates the route with the latest used routing profile. To change that, **tap the route profile selection button and select another profile** (activity or means of transport):\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:rteplan3.gif?nolink |}}
  
-There are a few ways how to start navigation to a point: +==== Editing the route ==== 
-  * **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point#navigate_to_function|Navigate to]]** function +Optionally, before you start navigating, you can **modify the route's progress**. The route planner in which the route is generated offers all possible options: 
-  * **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point#navigate_to_a_point_from_data_manager|Navigation to a point from Data manager]]** +  * **changing parts of the route** 
-  * **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point#navigate_to_a_point_on_map|Navigation to a point on map]]**+  * **adding waypoints** 
 +  * **changing waypoints' order** 
 +  * etc.

-===== 'Navigate to' function ===== 
  
-<wrap box>Menu > More functions > Navigate to</wrap> +==== Recently navigated routes ====
-==== 1. Final point ====+
  
-Select method of defining **[[:manual:user_guide:tools:location|Final Point]]** of your navigation - show it on the map, search address etc. You can also define a [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point#definition_of_an_own_navigation_target_for_repeated_use|pre-set target for repeated use]]. \\ {{  :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace8.png?nolink&  }} \\ Then it is possible to change the location of the starting point as well.+  * tap **Navigate to** in the feature menu 
 +  * go to the **Recently used** tab\\ {{  :manual:user_guide:functions:navigace16.jpg?nolink&  }}
