+ | ===== Guidance To a Point ===== | ||
+ | **Off-road, beeline guiding to a selected place, independent on road network**. Used especially for orientation in free terrain. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Typically useful for finding **[[manual: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **How to guide? Select target and start guiding to it from its action menu.** | ||
+ | ==== Select target and start ==== | ||
+ | === A particular point on map === | ||
+ | * tap the point (LoMap POI, geocache...) on map | ||
+ | * tap {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Indefinite place on map === | ||
+ | * long-tap a place on map | ||
+ | * a pop-up (usually with address) appears | ||
+ | * tap {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | === In Points manager === | ||
+ | |||
+ | * go to **Menu > Points > folder > tap the selected point** and open its detail screen | ||
+ | * tap {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Controlling ==== | ||
+ | === Point guidance panel === | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | It displays information about the point, its distance and direction. In case of guidance to a geocache there are also other facts like the cache type, difficulty and terrain. Tapping the panel displays the point detail screen. === Panel menu === | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | * //Details// - opens screen with the point details | ||
+ | * //Hint// - in case of guidance to a geocache | ||
+ | * //Load all waypoints// - in case of guidance to a geocache with more waypoints | ||
+ | * //Navigate to// - switches to turn-by-turn navigation and calculates a route to the target | ||
+ | * //Guide Off// - stops guidance | ||
+ | * //Compass// - switches into [[manual: | ||
+ | * //Hide// - makes the point invisible on map | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Target notifications ==== | ||
+ | Locus can notify you of coming target several ways: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **once in defined distance** from the point of guidance | ||
+ | * **repeatedly** after you reach defined distance | ||
+ | * **changes frequency of alerts** in dependance on your distance from the target (the faster the closer you are) | ||
+ | === Settings === | ||
+ | |||
+ | * go to **Menu > Settings > Guidance > Notification** | ||
+ | * Switch **Notification ON** | ||
+ | * Select notification **mode** - single alert, repeated or increased frequency alert | ||
+ | * Set the **distance** you want to be alerted at (or distance interval between repeated notifications). | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | First two options have further settings: | ||
+ | * **Settings of sound** | ||
+ | * //Disable// - all sounds are disabled, notification is made by the device screen and vibrator only | ||
+ | * //Beep// - it is possible to set number of beeps (1-10) | ||
+ | * //Select sound// - select from sounds stored in your device memory | ||
+ | * // | ||
+ | * **Settings of vibration** - visible only when the device is equipped by a vibrator (mainly mobile phones) | ||
+ | * //Disable// - the device does not vibrate on notifications | ||
+ | * //Pattern// - sets notification vibrating pattern, using three symbols: ' | ||
+ | ==== Automatic zooming ==== | ||
+ | Locus can zoom the map **automatically according to the distance from the point** you are guided to - the closer the target is the bigger zoom is displayed so both your position and the target are visible on the map screen:\\ {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | The option can be switched on in **Settings > Controlling > Map screen > Zoom according to speed**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <WRAP center round tip > | ||
+ | At first the function zooms according to your current speed, beginning at 2000 m from the target it switches to the distance-based zooming mode. Applicable only for guidance to a point (not along a route). | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | ==== Automatic screen on ==== | ||
+ | To save your battery energy you can set automatic screen turning-on. The screen lights up simulataneously with the sound notification. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can set it up in **Settings > Controlling > Display > Screen on/off control**: | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | ===== Guidance Along a Route ===== | ||
+ | In other words **guidance to a chain of routepoints**: | ||
+ | ==== Select route and start ==== | ||
+ | === On map === | ||
+ | * tap the route on map | ||
+ | * tap {{: | ||
+ | * tap {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | === From tracks/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | * go to **Menu > Tracks** | ||
+ | * tap the selected route folder and the selected track to display the detail screen | ||
+ | * bottom panel > {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Controlling ==== | ||
+ | === Route guidance panel === | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | Appears when guidance is started. Consists of three sections: | ||
+ | * {{: | ||
+ | * two information fields | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Action menu === | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | * // | ||
+ | * //nearest point// - starts guidance to the nearest point of the route (it does not have to be the starting point) | ||
+ | * //next point// - starts guidance to the next nearest routepoint | ||
+ | * //guide off// - aborts guidance | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Information fields === | ||
+ | Both can be configured. Tapping them unfolds a menu of features to display:\\ {{ : | ||
+ | * //Distance to target// (default) | ||
+ | * //Time to target// - estimated time calculated upon your average speed | ||
+ | * //Time of arrival// - estimated arrival time calculated upon your average speed | ||
+ | * //Name of next waypoint// - in case the waypoints are named | ||
+ | * //Distance to next waypoint// | ||
+ | * //Time to next waypoint// - estimated time calculated according to average speed | ||
+ | * //Time// - device clock | ||
+ | * // | ||
+ | * //Speed// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 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**:\\ {{ : | ||
+ | * 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: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 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**:\\ {{ : | ||
+ | * 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**: | ||
+ | ===== Other settings ===== | ||
+ | Guidance in Locus Map can be further set in **[[manual: | ||
