{{ :manual:user_guide:ic_directions_alt.png?nolink|}}====== Navigation ======

----
Locus Map provides **two kinds of navigation**:
==== Navigate to... ====
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]]**. The router 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 be connected to the internet**. **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point|More info >>]]**
==== Navigation along a route ====
**Follows user-defined or imported routes.** Locus Map renders voice navigation commands automatically from the **shape of the route**. **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:along-route|More info >>]]**

===== Control Panel =====
{{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigace.jpg?nolink |}}
Appears after the start of the navigation. It consists of the **street name/road number indicator** (1), indicator of the **shape and distance of the next two turns** (arrow box)(2) and two **adjustable fields** (3,4) that can display:
  * **Distance to target** (3) (default)
  * **Time to target** (4) (default) - estimated time calculated upon your average speed
  * **Time of arrival** - estimated arrival time calculated upon your average speed
  * **Time to next junction** - time to the next crossroads where the direction will be changed
  * **Current time** - device clock
  * **Altitude** - current altitude of the user, calculated from GPS or the device barometer
  * **Speed** - current speed

<WRAP round info>In some cases the street name/road number indicator may be empty as the selected router does not have it in its database.</WRAP>

===== Control Menu =====
It can be displayed by tapping the **arrow box**.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigace2.jpg?nolink |}}

===== Settings =====
Here you can set the router, voice commands etc. **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings|More info >>]]**
===== Leaving the route =====
When you are **forced to leave navigated route** Locus offers several ways how to **lead you back** on it (or to your target):
==== Guidance ====
Locus leads you to the **nearest point of the route by a guiding line**. It displays also **distance** to it (and other values if you set them in **[[manual:user_guide:functions:guidance:settings|guidance settings]]**).\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace30.png?nolink |}} 
==== Auto recalculation - route priority ====
Selected routing service recalculates your way **back to the nearest place on your original route**. This option is **recommended for [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:along-route|navigation along a route]]**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace31.png?nolink |}}\\ **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings#auto-recalculation|More info >>]]**
==== 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 >>]]**
==== Notification ====
Locus can notify you when you leave your navigated route - either **by voice** (it informs about direction and distance of the nearest route point), **by a sound, beep or vibration**. [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings#out_of_route_notification|More info >>]]

===== 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.**
