The Route Planner and Navigate to use services of route-generating engines called routers. The router generates a route based on selected profiles and their parameters. Each profile relates to an activity (hiking, nordic skiing…) or a means of transport (MTB, gravel bike, car…).
You can use three routers in Locus Map 4:
All routers use the OSM routing database and are independent on an active map.
Built-in router, available in online and offline (Premium Gold only) variants. The online LoRouter is the default router of Locus Map 4.
LoRouter offers 9 routing profiles divided into four categories:
Both walking profiles offer the wet conditions option selecting less muddy surfaces where possible.
Both car profiles allow for control of ferries, tolls, highway access and unpaved roads for those with terrain vehicles
LoRouter generates warnings for various pitfalls on the route – for challenging terrain, heavy traffic, barriers, tunnels, unprotected railway crossings, and so on. And that’s both in the route planner and in the quick route calculation for direct navigation to the destination:
Some warnings have three color-differentiated levels – from the least to the most serious warning:
If a warning concerns entire sections of the route, e.g., challenging surfaces or heavy road traffic, it also has a zonal variant, so you know exactly which part of the route to be careful on.
The display of warnings can be further configured in the app settings >>
Available only with Premium Gold
The offline version of LoRouter uses offline routing data. We strongly recommend downloading it in advance or you'll be prompted to download additionally while planning a route. You can download it either with the data downloader in settings > Navigation > Router
or as an additional part of LoMaps - routing data is a part of every LoMap package - you can download it from Locus Store:
Routing data is automatically updated. You can set the update interval:
Fast and data-efficient external online router. It offers three bike profiles: cycle, MTB, and racing, two types of walk profiles: walk and hike and a car navigation profile.
With Premium Gold, GraphHopper can render two routes at once, for each route segment individually:
FREE option for offline routing. It requires installing an external app.
By default, there are a few profiles available for BRouter in Locus Map. But all of them are editable and you can add more profiles from the BRouter repository or other sources:
Not all .brf files in BRouter and other repositories are compatible with Locus Map.
