+Locus Map provides **two kinds of navigation**:
-===== Navigate to... =====
+==== Navigate to... ====
-Standard **turn-by-turn navigation with voice orders from point A to point B** with route calculated by an external routing service (called also navigation data source). Locus Map supports **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings|several online routing services]]** and you can of course navigate also **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point#offline_navigation|offline]]**. The routing service calculates the route according to selected **navigation profile** (activity or means of transport) - car, bicycle, foot etc. **In case of online routing services it is necessary to maintain the internet connection**. **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point|More info >>]]**
+Standard **turn-by-turn navigation with voice commands from point A to point B** with route calculated by a router. Locus Map supports **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings|several online routing services]]** and you can of course navigate also **[[manual:faq:how_to_navigate_offline|offline]]**.

+==== Auto recalculation - point priority ====
+Selected routing service creates a **new route leading to the nearest via point or to the finish of the route**. This option is **recommended for [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point|point-to-point navigation]]**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigace32.gif?nolink |}}\\ **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings#auto-recalculation|More info >>]]**
