| + | ====== Route Planning ====== | ||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | ===== About routes ===== | ||
| + | **Routes** are strings of routepoints along which user is **[[manual: | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Routes** are **pre-planned, | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Routes** can be drawn **manually on the map** or **automatically** by an online routing service, offline routing app, PC software or web application. **Locus Map** provides several methods of creating routes: | ||
| + | * **Route planner** - tool for manual and automatic drawing of routes with routing service assistance | ||
| + | * **Changing tracks to routes** - using tracks as routes for navigaton | ||
| + | ===== Route planner ===== | ||
| + | This tool can be switched on several ways: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * <wrap box>Menu > Route planner</ | ||
| + | * <wrap box>Menu > Tracks > {{: | ||
| + | * <wrap box>add function to the [[: | ||
| + | ==== Route planner screen ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ : | ||
| + | - **Drawing mode** - select among manual and automatic modes | ||
| + | - **add/ | ||
| + | - **back/ | ||
| + | - **zooming and centering buttons** | ||
| + | * **Topbar** - contains **Route menu** | ||
| + | * **Bottom bar** - displays basic route stats (length, estimated time, positive and negative elevation gain) and elevation chart button, sliding the chart up:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | ==== Route line ==== | ||
| + | {{ : | ||
| + | * {{: | ||
| + | * {{: | ||
| + | * {{: | ||
| + | |||
| + | The line between points stretches straight in case of manual drawing or runs along roads and paths in case of automatic drawing. | ||
| + | ===== Drawing instructions ===== | ||
| + | ==== Set your drawing mode ==== | ||
| + | * tap {{: | ||
| + | * {{: | ||
| + | * {{: | ||
| + | === Offline automatic route planning === | ||
| + | Download and install free co-application **[[https:// | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | * **Include navigation hints** - when checked, Locus creates also direction commands related to the new route which can be used for voice navigation. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Add shaping points ==== | ||
| + | The route is built by **shaping points** {{: | ||
| + | * by **tapping** {{: | ||
| + | * by **tapping directly on map** (this option can be turned off in the route menu) | ||
| + | The route line, rendered between shaping points, contains also **segment points** {{: | ||
| + | <WRAP center round important> | ||
| + | **NEVER place the shaping points on intersections!** The router needs to know the direction **after the turn** so that it can add the proper navigation command to it. | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Add via points ==== | ||
| + | Via points are places you want to go through when **navigating the route** - the voice navigation will notify you of them and in case of route recalculation the via points are not detoured. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Via points can be created out of shaping points: | ||
| + | * tap a shaping point and select **Change to** from the popup label:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * **rename** the via point (optional) and confirm. Via point in the planner:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * after saving the route the via point is **marked by an icon**:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | By moving a via point on map in route planner it changes back to a shaping point. | ||
| + | ==== Add LoMap POIs ==== | ||
| + | [[manual: | ||
| + | * tap a POI on map | ||
| + | * select where to put the POI in the route - at the start, end or inside:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * when you select to add the POI at the end:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * when you select to add the POI inside the route:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Add your own points ==== | ||
| + | Your own interesting places or downloaded geocaches can be added to your route: | ||
| + | * display your selected **points on map** (Menu > Points > select whole folder or individual points) | ||
| + | * add them to your route **the same way as LoMap POIs** (see above):\\ {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Add individually defined points ==== | ||
| + | Define a new point by an address, coordinates, | ||
| + | * open **route menu** from the topbar:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * tap **Add point** and select method of your new point definition from the [[manual: | ||
| + | ==== Define areas to avoid ==== | ||
| + | If you know a place an route you can not go through but which is not reflected by the map or routing data - e.g. temporary road block, wood harvesting in the forest, flooded area etc., **tell route planner to avoid it**. | ||
| + | * shift cursor on the spot you want to block and select **Add no-go** from the route menu:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * if necessary, set the **means of transport** the no-go area is valid for, the area **radius** (25, 50, 100, 500, 1000 m) and **time of validity** (tap the no-go area on map):\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * route planner makes **detours** around the no-go areas:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * no-go areas can be **deleted** by {{: | ||
| + | * the route **without detours**: | ||
| + | ==== Undo, re-do, remove points ==== | ||
| + | * to **remove last added shaping point**, tap {{: | ||
| + | * to **reverse all edits** (adding points, moving them), tap **back button**(3) | ||
| + | * to **repeat reversed steps**, tap **forward button**(3) | ||
| + | ==== Recalculate segment or whole route ==== | ||
| + | === Segment === | ||
| + | If you changed your mind and you want to **use a different activity** for a part of the planned route, OR the automatically drawn segment doesn' | ||
| + | * tap the selected **segment point** | ||
| + | * tap **recalculate** and select another activity | ||
| + | * **confirm**: | ||
| + | |||

| + | * plan a new route | ||
| + | * open route menu and select **Recalculate all** | ||
| + | * **select new activity and confirm**: | ||
| + | ==== Check route stats and travel time ==== | ||
| + | * **quick check the elevation profile, distance, estimated time on route, overall ascend and descend** of the route on the chart sliding from the screen bottom:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * check **more detailed stats** - Route menu > Route stats:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * check route **Travel time** - Route menu > Travel time:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | \\ {{ : | ||
| + | The time is calculated from a combination of various parameters. These include distance, elevation profile, estimated speed, estimated elevation gain/loss per hour or a certain amount of break time specific for particular activities. | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | ==== Instant navigation ==== | ||
| + | You can start navigation along the planned route right from the route planner: | ||
| + | * open **route menu** | ||
| + | * tap **Navigate**!\\ {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Save route ==== | ||
| + | When you are done with all edits, **save your route!** | ||
| + | * open **route menu**\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * tap **Save route**\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * add **name** of the route (optional - Locus usually inserts names of the route start/end places automatically) | ||
| + | * add **description** (optional) | ||
| + | * set **activity** - good for overall statistics | ||
| + | * select **folder** - tell Locus where to store the route | ||
| + | * set **style** - color, thickness, pattern... Usually it is not necessary, the folder style is pre-selected. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you are dissatisfied with your planning or for whatever reason want to abort all planning, tap **Clear planner** in the route menu:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | <WRAP center round important> | ||

| + | <WRAP center round tip> | ||
| + | In order to **avoid too steep hills** you can set route color to dynamic slope style and define unacceptable range of the slope angle, i.e. 10%-30%. Locus will highlight such places for you:</ | ||
| + | {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Retaining unsaved plan ==== | ||
| + | By default, route planner **retains your unsaved plan** and **offers to continue your work on it when restarted**: | ||
| + | ==== Quick drawing ==== | ||
| + | To **turn off adding shaping points by tapping the map screen**, uncheck this option.\\ {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Measuring area ==== | ||
| + | {{ : | ||
| + | Do you want to measure area of your property? Check this option, Locus will color the area on map and display the area value in the bottom bar:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Using tracks as routes ===== | ||
| + | Tracks can be turned into routes when they are intended for navigation or guidance: | ||
| + | * select track in data manager or tap it on the map | ||
| + | * select **Navigate** or **Guide On** or **Guide On reverse** | ||
