+====== How to navigate offline? ======
+----
+Offline navigation is essential for any outdoor traveling. Bad or even no data signal in mountainous, rural or otherwise deserted areas makes online navigation useless.
+Locus Map in default settings offers navigation with the help of implemented online services. Firstly it is [[https://www.graphhopper.com/|GraphHopper]] online navigation service followed by **[[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/YOURS|YOURS]]**. If you want offline navigation, you have to install **cooperating routing app BRouter**, available at **[[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=btools.routingapp|Google Play Store >>]]**. Locus Map identifies it in the system and adds it automatically to the routing services portfolio.
+===== BRouter setup =====
+  * after installation, launch BRouter\\ \\ {{ :manual:faq:navigation_offline01.png?nolink |}}
+  * select Download manager\\ \\ {{ :manual:faq:navigation_offline02.png?nolink |}}
+  * zoom in and select the area you need for offline routing\\ \\ {{ :manual:faq:navigation_offline03.png?nolink |}}
+  * set BRouter as default navigation data source in Locus //menu > settings > navigation > navigation data source//\\ \\ {{ :manual:faq:navigation_offline04.png?nolink |}}
+  * then start navigation as usual by {{:manual:user_guide:ic_directions_alt.png?nolink&30|}}**[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point|Navigate to]]** function and **you will be navigated offline**.
+<WRAP center round tip>
+BRouter remains set as default also for engine-routing-assisted drawing in [[manual:user_guide:tracks:planning|Add a new route function]]
+</WRAP>
+===== Advanced options =====
+Although BRouter user interface looks quite simple, the app offers quite a lot of various settings, creating custom navigation profiles etc. A rich source of info and tips is this [[https://github.com/poutnikl/Brouter-profiles/wiki|wiki-blog >>]]. BRouter provides also a [[http://brouter.de/brouter-web/|web app]], enabling route planning on a big PC screen and consequent export to GPX file and then to Locus Map.
+<WRAP center round tip>
+An alternative method of using BRouter for route planning, utilizing its "//no go//" and "//via//" points is described in detail [[manual:user_guide:tracks:planning:brouter|here >>]]
+</WRAP>
+===== GraphHopper =====
+An alternative to BRouter is routing software **[[https://graphhopper.com/|GraphHopper]]**.  An unofficial Locus GrapHopper add-on is still in development but is free to use. It is not available at Google Play yet – all necessary links and relevant information gather in [[http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=4036.0|this forum thread >>]].
