Navigation


Locus Map provides two kinds of navigation:

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 several online routing services and you can of course navigate also 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.

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

Control Panel

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

In some cases the street name/road number indicator may be empty as the navigation source does not have it in its database.

Control Menu

Can be displayed by tapping the arrow box.
