 +{{ :manual:user_guide:ic_directions_alt.png?nolink|}}====== Navigation ======
 +
 +----
 +Locus Map provides **two kinds of navigation**:
 +==== Navigate to... ====
 +Standard **turn-by-turn navigation with voice orders from point A to point B** with route calculated by an external routing service (called also navigation data source). Locus Map supports **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings|several online routing services]]** and you can of course navigate also **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point#brouter_-_offline_routing_service|offline]]**. The routing service calculates the route according to selected **navigation profile** (activity or means of transport) - car, bicycle, foot etc. **In case of online routing services it is necessary to maintain the internet connection**. **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point|More info >>]]**
 +==== Navigation along a route ====
 +**Follows user-defined or imported routes.** Locus Map renders voice navigation commands automatically from the **shape of the route**. **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:along-route|More info >>]]**

 +
 +===== Control Panel =====
 +{{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigace.png?nolink |}}
 +Consists of the **street name/road number indicator** (1), indicator of the **shape and distance of the next two turns** (arrow box)(2) and two **adjustable fields** (3,4) that can display:
 +  * **Distance to target** (3) (default)
 +  * **Time to target** (4) (default) - estimated time calculated upon your average speed
 +  * **Time of arrival** - estimated arrival time calculated upon your average speed
 +  * **Time to next junction** - time to the next crossroads where the direction will be changed
 +  * **Time** - device clock
 +  * **Altitude** - current altitude of the user, calculated from GPS or the device barometer
 +  * **Speed** - current speed
 +
 +<WRAP round info>In some cases the street name/road number indicator may be empty as the navigation source does not have it in its database.</WRAP>
 +
 +===== Control Menu =====
 +Can be displayed by tapping the **arrow box**.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigace22.png?nolink |}}{{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigace2.png?nolink |}}
 +  * **topbar** contains a button to **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings|navigation settings]]**
 +  * **Route detail** - displays screen with **detailed info about the route**\\ 
 +  * **Itinerary** - **list of turning points** along the route
 +  * **Recalculate** - **manual trigger of route recalculation and indicator of selected navigation profile**. Short tap **recalculates the route** in selected navigation profile. Long tap opens a **menu of other available profiles** so the the route can be recalculated in a **different profile**.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigace7.png?nolink |}}
 +  * **Nearest point** - shifts the map to the **nearest route point**
 +  * **Select voice** - displays **selection of installed voices and text-to-speech**
 +  * **Add no-go** - inserts an **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:planning#define_areas_to_avoid|area to avoid]]** on the place of the map cursor
 +  * **End navigation** - **stops** navigation and **deletes** the calculated route
 +  * **Volume slider and Mute check-button** - sets volume of voice commands
 +===== Settings =====
 +Here you can set your navigation data source, voice commands etc. **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings|More info >>]]**
 +===== Leaving the route =====
 +When you are **forced to leave navigated route** Locus offers several ways how to **lead you back** on it (or to your target):
 +==== Guidance ====
 +Locus leads you to the **nearest point of the route by a guiding line**. It displays also **distance** to it (and other values if you set them in **[[manual:user_guide:functions:guidance:settings|guidance settings]]**).\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace30.png?nolink |}} 
 +==== Auto recalculation - route priority ====
 +Selected routing service recalculates your way **back to the nearest place on your original route**. This option is **recommended for [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:along-route|navigation along a route]]**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace31.png?nolink |}}\\ **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings#auto-recalculation|More info >>]]**
 +==== Auto recalculation - point priority ====
 +Selected routing service creates a **new route leading to the nearest via point or to the finish of the route**. This option is **recommended for [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point|point-to-point navigation]]**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigace32.gif?nolink |}}\\ **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings#auto-recalculation|More info >>]]**
 +==== Notification ====
 +Locus can notify you when you leave your navigated route - either **by voice** (it informs about direction and distance of the nearest route point), **by a sound, beep or vibration**. [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings#out_of_route_notification|More info >>]]
