 ===== Guidance Along a Route ===== ===== Guidance Along a Route =====
-Technically, guidance along a route is actually guidance to a chain of trackpoints. You are guided to the first point of the route, then to the second etc. It is useful e.g. for sailing, sea-kayaking, flying or crosscountry hiking when there are no roads for turn-by-turn navigation. Nevertheless, Locus Map can help you with orientation by screen and sound alerts at important track turns. +In other words **guidance to a chain of route points**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:guidance_route.jpg?nolink |}}\\ You are guided to the first point of the route, then to the second, etc. It is useful e.g. for **sailing, sea-kayaking, flying, or cross-country hiking** when there are no roads for turn-by-turn navigation.

-  * a line with the indicator of distance stretches between your position and the starting point +
-  * direction-change waypoints emerge on the route line +
-  * an additional upper bar emerges+
  
-<WRAP round tip > +  - **select a route** on the **map** or in the **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:management|track/route manager]]** and tap it to display its [[manual:user_guide:tracks:about#track_route_detail_panel|detail panel >>]] 
-Alternatively the guidance can be started by selecting the track directly on map if it is visible, tapping the arrow button and selecting Navigation/guidance > Guidance.+  - tap {{:manual:user_guide:ic_directions_alt.png?nolink&30|}} navigation button in the bottom bar and select **Guidance**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:guidance_routes.gif?nolink |}} 
 +   
 +Locus Map **automatically generates simplified navigation commands** along the route in places of the most remarkable direction changes. 
 +==== Reverse direction ==== 
 + 
 +To be navigated in **reverse direction** of the route, check "Guide reversely":\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:guidance_route02.jpg?nolink |}} 
 + 
 +<WRAP center round important> 
 +Guiding commands on a reversed route may not reflect traffic situations accurately. **Recommended for offroad use only!**
 </WRAP> </WRAP>
-  * Locus Map can **alert you of the next direction change** (if you [[manual:user_guide:functions:guidance:settings#notification_of_the_next_turn|set it up]]) by a sound signal and switching the display on (must be [[manual:user_guide:settings:control#screen_on_off_control|pre-set]] as well). 
  
 +==== Controlling ====
 +=== Route guidance panel ===
 +{{ :manual:user_guide:functions:guidance_route03.jpg?nolink |}}
 +Appears when guidance is started. Consists of three sections:
 +  * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_guide_alt.png?nolink&30|}}Action menu
 +  * two information fields
 +
 +=== Action menu ===
 +{{ :manual:user_guide:functions:guidance_route04.jpg?nolink |}}
 +  * //information// - displays screen with detailed info on the route
 +  * //nearest point// - starts guidance to the nearest point of the route (it does not have to be the starting point)
 +  * //next point// - starts guidance to the next nearest routepoint
 +  * //guide off// - aborts guidance
  
-==== Route guidance control bar ==== +=== Information fields === 
-  *  {{:manual:user_guide:ic_guide_alt.png?nolink&30|}}**Guidance button** {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:guidance_route.png?nolink |}} +Both can be configured. Tapping them unfolds a menu of features to display:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:guidance_route05.jpg?nolink |}}

 +==== Notifications of turns ====
 +Locus Map can **notify you of direction changes on guided route**. The notifications are rendered automatically based on the **route shape** and do not reflect intersections.
 +   * go to **Menu > Settings > Guidance > Notification of next turn**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:guidance_route07.jpg?nolink |}}
 +   * select **type of alert** - beep(s), custom sounds or Text-To-speech. TTS is very simple, if you need more detailed voice commands, use [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:along-route|Navigation]].
 +
 +==== Set "out of route" notification ====
 +Locus Map can **notify you when you leave guided route**. Just set up the **alert distance** and **type of alert**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:guidance_route08.jpg?nolink |}}
 +  * go to **Menu > Settings > Guidance > "Out of route" notification**
 +  * set alert **distance** and (optionally) **repetition** period
 +  * select **type of alert**. TTS announces distance and direction of the nearest point of the route.
 +==== Automatic screen on ====
 +To save your battery energy you can set automatic screen switching on. The screen lights up simultaneously with the sound notification of the route turns.
 +
 +You can set it up in **Settings > Controlling > Display > Screen on/off control**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:guidance_route09.jpg?nolink |}}
 +===== Other settings =====
 +Guidance in Locus Map can be further configured in **[[manual:user_guide:functions:guidance:settings|Menu > Settings > Guidance]]**.
