Navigation


Locus Map provides two kinds of navigation:

  • Point-to-point navigation

    Standard turn-by-turn navigation with voice orders from point A to point B with route calculated by an external routing service (navigation data source). Locus Map supports several routing services - online or 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.Continue >>

  • Navigation along a route

    Follows user-defined or imported routes. Locus Map renders voice navigation commands automatically from the shape of the route. Continue >>

Consists of the street/road No. indicator (1), indicator of the shape and distance of the next turn (2) and two adjustable fields (3,4), that can display:

  • Distance to target (3) (default)
  • Time to target (4) - 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

In some cases the road number indicator may be empty as the navigation source does not have it registered.

Can be displayed by tapping the turn shape and distance indicator.

  • topbar contains a shortcut button to navigation settings
  • Track - displays track detail window
  • Itinerary - displays a 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 that the route is recalculated in a different profile.
  • Nearest point - shifts the map to the nearest route point
  • Select voice - displays a table of installed voices to select from
  • End navigation - stops navigation and deletes the calculated route
  • Volume slider and Mute checkbutton - sets volume of voice commands

Here you can set your navigation data source, voice commands etc. Continue >>
