-====== Navigation Along a Route ======
+====== Navigating a Route ======
 ----
-Unlike in **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point|Navigate to...]]** feature where the route is calculated from start to end by a routing service, **Navigation along a route navigates recorded tracks, imported or planned routes** stored in your own Locus track/route database.
+Unlike in **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point|Navigate to...]]** feature where the route is calculated from start to end by a routing service, **Navigation along a route navigates recorded tracks, imported or planned routes** stored in your Locus Library. This is how it works:
 ===== 1. Select a Route =====
-==== From Track/route manager ====
-  - **select a route** and tap it to display its [[manual:user_guide:tracks:management#track_detail_screen|detail screen >>]]
+  - **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 >>]]
-  - tap {{:manual:user_guide:ic_directions_alt.png?nolink&30|}} navigation button in the bottom panel and select **Navigation**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace6.gif?nolink |}}
+  - tap navigation button in the bottom bar and select **Navigation**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace6.gif?nolink |}}
+  - check **Navigate from selected point** if you want to be navigated from the place you tapped. Otherwise, you'll be navigated from the nearest place on the route to your actual location\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace34.jpg?nolink |}}
-==== On map ====
-  - **find** your route on map and **tap it**
-  - tap {{:manual:user_guide:ic_arrow_simple_right_alt.png?nolink&30|}} on the popup
-  - select {{:manual:user_guide:ic_directions_alt.png?nolink&30|}}**Navigation/guidance** > **Navigation**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace28.gif?nolink |}}
 Locus Map **automatically generates 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 "Navigate reversely":\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace33.jpg?nolink |}}
-<WRAP center round info >If you need to be navigated in **reverse direction**, make a **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:management|copy of the route]]** and check both the **Change track orientation** and **Generate commands** options in the copy dialog.
+<WRAP center round important>
+Navigation commands on a reversed route may not reflect traffic situations accurately. **Recommended for offroad use only!**
 </WRAP>
+==== Link with presets ====
+If you need to **re-set Locus Map temporarily during the navigation** (e.g. shift the cursor, turn map rotation on, the screen permanently on, etc.), **select from your app [[manual:user_guide:settings:presets|presets]]** here:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:naviset06.jpg?nolink |}}
 ===== 2. START Navigation =====
   * **At the start of the route**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace29.png?nolink |}}
   * **Away from the start of the route**\\ In this case Locus** guides you to the nearest point on your route**.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace30.png?nolink |}}
-  * **Away from the start of the route - auto recalculation**\\ If you have **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings#auto-recalculation|auto-recalculation with route priority]]** set, the selected routing service **calculates route to the start of your navigated route**.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace31.png?nolink |}}\\ <WRAP center round important>
+  * **Away from the start of the route - auto recalculation**\\ If you have **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings#auto-recalculation|auto-recalculation with route priority]]** set, the selected routing service **calculates route to the nearest point on your route**.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace31.png?nolink |}}\\ <WRAP center round important>
 **Auto-recalculation with point priority ignores your selected route and creates a new route to the nearest via point or directly to the finish.**
 </WRAP>
+==== Adding via points during navigation ====
+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|Library]]** 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.**
