-====== Point To Point Navigation ======+====== Navigate To... ======
  
 ---- ----
 +Standard voice navigation as you know it from your car or other applications.
 +===== 1. Select Target =====
 +Firstly, you have to **tell Locus where you want to go**. 
 +==== Directly on map ====
 +The simplest and fastest (and the least accurate) way.
 +  - **hold your finger on the place on map you want to be navigated to**
 +  - a popup with address emerges, tap ">" and select **Navigate to**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace23.gif?nolink |}}
 +==== Other location options ====
 +When you need accurate or special definition of your target location, use **location selector**:
 +  - tap //Menu > More functions > Navigate to// {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace24.gif?nolink |}}
 +  - select **[[:manual:user_guide:tools:location|method of defining target]]** of your route:\\  
 +{{  :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace8.png?nolink&  }}\\ 
  
-Standard voice navigation as you know it from your car or other applications. Starting and ending points can be selected by various methods of the {{:manual:user_guide:ic_get_location_alt.png?nolink&30}}[[:manual:user_guide:tools:location|Location Selector]] (GPS position, address, tap on map…). Provided you do not use **[[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=btools.routingapp|BRouter]] offline routing service** the navigation is computed on an internet server so the internet connection is needed.+==== Point from Data manager ==== 
 +Use e.g. in case you want to navigate to some geocache from your database:  
 +  - select the point from [[:manual:user_guide:points:management#data_manager|Point manager]]\\ {{  :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace4.png?nolink&  }} 
 +  - tap it to display the [[:manual:user_guide:points:management#point_detail_screen|point detail screen]] 
 +  - tap {{:manual:user_guide:ic_guide_alt.png?nolink&30}}button from the bottom panel and select **Navigate to**
  
-There are a few ways how to start navigation to a point: +==== Point on map ==== 
-  * **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point#navigate_to_function|Navigate to]]** function +Similar to the first method but now you select directly some point of interest
-  * **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point#navigate_to_a_point_from_data_manager|Navigation to a point from Data manage]]r** +  - tap a point of interest displayed on the map (a geocache or some LoMap POI) 
-  * **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point#navigate_to_a_point_on_map|Navigation to a point on map]]**+  - tap ">" on the point label and select **Navigate to**

-Select method of defining **[[:manual:user_guide:tools:location|Final Point]]** of your navigation show it on the mapsearch address etc. You can also define a [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point#definition_of_an_own_navigation_target_for_repeated_use|pre-set target for repeated use]]. \\ {{  :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace8.png?nolink&  }} \\ Then it is possible to change the location of the starting point as well.+When you start navigation **next time, just select the target from the grid**.
