-=== Warnings === 
-Online LoRouter in the app generates **warnings for various pitfalls on the route** – for challenging terrain, heavy traffic, barriers, tunnels, unprotected railway crossings, and so on. And that’s both in the route planner and in the quick route calculation for direct navigation to the destination:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:warn01.jpg?nolink |}}\\ Some warnings have **three color-differentiated levels** – from the least to the most serious warning:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:warn02.jpg?400 |}}\\ If a warning concerns entire sections of the route, e.g., challenging surfaces or heavy road traffic, it also has a **zonal variant**, so you know exactly which part of the route to be careful on.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:warn03.jpg?nolink |}}
