Suitable for all ordinary outdoor activites - three kinds of bike profiles: **cycle**, **MTB** and **racing** and two types of walk profiles: **walk** and **hike**. GraphHopper offers also a **car** navigation profile.

-Offline routing engine BRouter offers much more sophisticated profile settings than any other services. Not only you can add more conditions relevant to various means of transport,
+BRouter offers many more routing profiles with additional configuration:

-**External profiles** - besides the BRouter profiles embedded directly in Locus, it is also possible to use profiles provided by BRouter developer or by other users - however, creating custom profiles is not trivial and is recommended for advanced users. **[[https://github.com/poutnikl/Brouter-profiles/wiki|Poutnik's GitHub page]]** provides further information as well as many ready-to-use profiles which shall be downloaded and placed in the directory **/Locus/data/brouter** (create if non-existent).

 Navigation route is recalculated automatically if the deviation from the former route is greater than the parameter **distance for recalculation**. If you don't follow the recalculated route, Locus Map will recalculate it **once again after 30 seconds**. You will need **internet connection** in case an **online routing service** is selected (e.g. GraphHopper Online or YOURS). For **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point#offline_navigation|offline routing]]** it is necessary to additionally download and install **BRouter** co-app and download **offline routing data**.
