====== Navigation Along 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. 
===== 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 >>]]
  - 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 |}}

==== 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 |}}
  - 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.png?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.png?nolink |}}

<WRAP center round important>
Navigation commands on a reversed route may not reflect traffic situations accurately. **Recommended for offroad use only!**

==== 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.gif?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 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.**
