-Mobile application Locus Map has also its web counterpart available at **[[https://web.locusmap.app|web.locusmap.app]]**. It does not work as a full-stack app but it can do pretty much: 
-  * browse hike/bike and winter LoMaps and global satellite maps 
-  * plan routes 
-  * import/export routes 
-  * import user points 
-  * display tracks/routes and points on the map 
-  * search places and points of interest 
-  * sync with your mobile app on multiple devices <wrap info>**[[manual:user_guide:premium|Premium Gold]]** only</wrap> 
-===== Maps ===== 
-==== Controlling ==== 
-The map can be shifted by clicking and dragging, and zoomed with the mouse wheel. There are also **zooming buttons** in the top right corner:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web01.jpg?nolink |}} 
-To change the displayed map, select from the **map selection**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web02.jpg?nolink |}} 
-To center the map on your approximate location, tap the **centering button** (the browser will need your permission to catch your location):\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web03.jpg?nolink |}} 
-==== LoMaps ==== 
-The default map for **hiking, biking and other summer outdoor activities**. Available worldwide in 18 zooms down to the scale 1:5000, based on topographic content with shadowed terrain and elevation contour lines. It displays a layer of lines of the **marked routes** for various outdoor activities and dynamic points of interest - **[[manual:user_guide:points:locus_maps_pois|LoPoints]]**. \\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web04.jpg?nolink |}} 
-==== LoMaps Ski ==== 
-Map for winter outdoor sports - backcountry, nordic, downhill skiing, snowshoeing etc. The topographic background is the same as on summer LoMaps, special winter LoPoints are added. \\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web05.jpg?nolink |}} 
  
-Both maps are generated from **[[https://www.openstreetmap.org|OSM]]** data and are updated every 24 hours. For the map symbols' description, see the **[[manual:user_guide:maps_locusmaps:legend|Map legend]]**.

-===== Route planning ===== 
-A quick sample: 
- 
-<html><iframe width="800" height="600" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/q9xQgnIADe8?controls=1" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></html> 
-==== Select activity ==== 
-The first step is to select an activity for which the route will be created. The planner offers two **walking**, three **biking**, two **driving**, one cross-country **skiing** and one **manual** drawing mode.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web11.jpg?nolink |}} 
- 
-The manual mode is useful **only when you draw the route in a free terrain** or when the routing data for a particular area is missing:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web12.jpg?nolink |}} 
-==== Add route points ==== 
- 
-The route is created the same way as in the app. The simplest way is to **click the route points directly on the map on roads and paths**. 
- 
-**The first click must be done with the right mouse button and selecting the "Start here" option:**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web08.jpg?nolink |}} 
-This way the planner switches into the drawing mode and you can add other route points by **left-clicking**. By shifting the cursor above the route line between the points a new point emerges and by dragging it you can **change the route progress**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web13.gif?nolink |}} 
-You can **move** any of the route points at any time and the route always **reroutes** accordingly. 
-=== Adding LoPoints and other points === 
-You can also add LoPoints to your route. Shift the cursor on the LoPoint, and a popup emerges. Click on **Add to route**.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web09.jpg?nolink |}} 
- 
-This way you can add also your user points like geocaches or search results to the route:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web10.jpg?nolink |}} 
-=== Changing order, deleting, reverse direction === 
-The route points are lined up in an itinerary displayed on the panel on the left. You can **change their order** by click-and-drawing them up or down the line (1), **delete** them (2), or **reverse the course** of the whole route (3):\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web14.jpg?nolink |}} 
- 
-To delete the whole route from the planner, tap **Clear**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web21.jpg?nolink |}} 
- 
-=== Route stats === 
-Statistics of the route like distance, estimated time or elevation gain are displayed in the left panel under the itinerary.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web28.jpg?nolink |}} 
-==== Elevation chart ==== 
-The **elevation and slope progress** of the route is displayed on a chart:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web18.jpg?nolink |}} 
-The chart also displays min/max elevation and slope, waypoints and elevation/slope/distance at the position of the cursor:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web19.jpg?nolink |}} 
-You can change the X-axis parameter - **distance or estimated time**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web20.gif?nolink |}} 
-==== Sharing and export ==== 
-=== Sharing a route === 
-When you have planned a route, tap the **Share** button. A popup emerges, displaying a unique link that can be **copied to the clipboard** and shared:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web22.jpg?nolink |}} 
-The link contains the waypoints defining the route. When it's clicked on it opens the Locus web route planner that re-renders the route from them.  
-=== Sharing a LoPoint === 
-If you need to share a link to an interesting place marked on the map, tap **Share** on the detail panel of the LoPoint:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web24.jpg?nolink |}} 
-=== Sharing any place on the map === 
-  * **right-click** the place on the map and select **Share point**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web25.jpg?nolink |}} 
-  * add the **name** of the place (optionally) and **copy the link**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web26.jpg?nolink |}} 
-=== Exporting a route === 
-You can export the route as a **GPX file** that can be used in any navigation app or service. Click **Export** and then **Download as GPX**. If you don't want to keep the voice navigation commands in the route file, check the option:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web27.jpg?nolink |}}
