 <WRAP round tip >{{:manual:user_guide:ic_directions_alt.png?nolink&30|}} **Route computing** - useful for exact road measuring. Turn it on, add waypoints and Locus Map will compute the route between them smoothly along the roads. **Always turn the computing function first before you want to compute route between two new waypoints, not vice versa!**</WRAP> <WRAP round tip >{{:manual:user_guide:ic_directions_alt.png?nolink&30|}} **Route computing** - useful for exact road measuring.

 +===== Measuring area =====
 +Areas can be measured by the **Add new route&Measure** function too.
 +  * check **Compute area** option in the Add new route&Measure tool menu\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:measure3.png?nolink |}}
 +  * switch off router-assisted route drawing
 +  * click the line around the measured area
 +  * the area measurement value displays in a box in the upper-left corner under the length box. Tapping the box changes units.
