+===== Navigation Data Source =====
-==== Navigation Data Source ====
 Locus Map does not contain its own service for calculating routes. Therefore, **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:planning|Route planner]]** and **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point|Navigate to]]** features cooperate with third party routing engines - **navigation data sources**. Each source has specific properties, some is functional online-only, some works offline (after downloading offline navigation data):
 {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:naviset01.png?nolink |}}
-=== ONLINE ===
+==== ONLINE ====
   * **[[https://www.graphhopper.com/|GraphHopper]]** - very fast and data-efficient routing service. Suitable for all ordinary outdoor activites - three kinds of bike profiles: **cycle**, **MTB** and **racing** and two types of walk profiles: **walk** and **hike**. GraphHopper offers also a **car** navigation profile.
   * **[[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/YOURS|YOURS]]**- open source routing engine offers point-to-point route calculation suitable for guidance without voice commands. Very good results in calculating bike routes.

   * **[[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=btools.routingapp|BRouter]]** - this service requires installation of an independent application **BRouter** and downloading offline navigation data:

-BRouter can be used also with custom (non-Locus) profiles which is a bit advanced problematics. More info can be found [[https://github.com/poutnikl/Brouter-profiles/wiki|here >>]]
+**External profiles** - besides the BRouter profiles embedded directly in Locus, it is also possible to use profiles provided by BRouter developer or by other users - however, creating custom profiles is not trivial and is recommended for advanced users. **[[https://github.com/poutnikl/Brouter-profiles/wiki|Poutnik's GitHub page]]** provides further information as well as many ready-to-use profiles which shall be downloaded and placed in the directory **/Locus/data/brouter** (create if non-existent).

-==== Select voice ====
+Linking with the app **[[manual:user_guide:settings:presets|presets]]** enables **fast re-setting of the whole app after the navigation start** so that its preferences are **better suitable for navigation**. E.g. cursor is shifted, map rotation is on, the screen is turned permanently on etc. Three most used navigation profiles can be linked - walking, biking and motor vehicle:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:naviset04.gif?nolink |}}

+  * **Basic** - in default settings, the line width and color it is optimized for the best visibility. Anyway, it is possible to change them.
+  * **Custom** - you can set all parameters of the line style Locus Map offers in its **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:management#style_editor|line style editor]]**
+  * **Keep original** - when you navigate an already existing route (imported, planned, recorded track...) and you want to maintain its line style during navigation, select this option.
+===== Advanced settings =====
+==== Strict route following ====
+Each route consists of a chain of routepoints (sort of breadcrumbs). This option navigates strictly from one routepoint to another. When you make a deviation, it tries to get you to the last omitted routepoint.\\ <WRAP important round>Keep in mind that this feature may come into conflict with your intentions e.g. when making unwanted detour and part of the original route is not accessible - it will keep navigating you to the first missed routepoint. If you want to skip a routepoint, switch it manually to the next **nearest point** in the [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation#navigation_control_menu|Navigation control menu]]. \\ \\ **This feature does not work when Auto-recalculation with Point priority is ON**.</WRAP>
+==== Maximum allowed deviation ====

+Ignores slight inaccuracies of GPS positioning and maintains the navigation cursor position on the navigated route
-  * **Maximum allowed deviation**  - sets maximum allowed deviation from the route before switching navigation to guidance
+==== Frequency of commands ====
-  * **Snap to route** - ignores slight inaccuracies of GPS positioning and maintains the navigation cursor position on the navigated route
-  * **Frequency of commands**  - manually drawn or imported routes do not contain navigation commands so when you select navigation along such a route, Locus has to generate the navigation commands according to the shape of the line. This setting defines how often you are prompted of direction changes on the route: none - low - medium - high.
-  * **Two commands at once**  - when two turns of a route follow closely, Locus Map notifies of both of them at once. Unchecking divides the navigation command into two separate ones.
-  * **Stop navigation at route finish** - when checked, the navigation is stopped and navigation panel removed when you get to the finish of your route
-  * **Navigation cursors** - here you can select set of navigation cursors and set their size (50%-400%)
