Navigation

Locus Map provides two kinds of navigation:

Standard turn-by-turn navigation with voice commands from point A to point B with route calculated by a router. Locus Map supports several online routing services and you can of course navigate also 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.

Follows user-defined or imported routes. Locus Map renders voice navigation commands automatically from the shape of the route. More info >>

• Distance to target (3) (default)
• Time to target (4) (default) - estimated time calculated upon your average speed

When you are forced to leave navigated route Locus offers several ways how to lead you back on it (or to your target):

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 guidance settings).

Selected routing service recalculates your way back to the nearest place on your original route. This option is recommended for navigation along a route:
