 +==== Set notifications of turns ====
 +Locus Map can **notify you of direction changes on guided route**. The notifications are rendered automatically based on the **route shape** and do not reflect intersections.
 +   * go to **Menu > Settings > Guidance > Notification of next turn**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:guidance_route07.png?nolink |}}
 +   * select **type of alert** - beep(s), custom sounds or Text-To-speech. TTS is very simple, if you need more detailed voice commands, use [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:along-route|Navigation]].
 +
 +==== Set "out of route" notification ====
 +Locus Map can **notify you when you leave guided route**. Just set up the **alert distance** and **type of alert**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:guidance_route08.png?nolink |}}
 +  * go to **Menu > Settings > Guidance > "Out of route" notification**
 +  * set alert **distance** and (optionally) **repetition** period
 +  * select **type of alert**. TTS announces distance and direction of the nearest point of the route.
 +==== Automatic screen on ====
 +To save your battery energy you can set automatic screen switching-on. The screen lights up simultaneously with the sound notification of the route turns.
 +
 +You can set it up in **Settings > Controlling > Display > Screen on/off control**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:guidance_route09.png?nolink |}}
 +===== Other settings =====
 +Guidance in Locus Map can be further set in **[[manual:user_guide:functions:guidance:settings|Menu > Settings > Guidance]]**.
