-===== Global ===== 
-==== Navigation Data Sources ==== 
-Offers a selection of supported data sources. Each source has specific properties, some is functional online-only, some provides data to download for offline use: 
-  * **[[http://www.mapquest.com/|MapQuest]]** - suitable for car navigation, data provide very detailed information. Further parameters can be adjusted: 
-    * //Limited access// - to avoid roads with limited access (motorways) 
-    * //Toll roads// - to avoid roads where charges can be applied 
-    * //Unpaved// - to avoid unpaved roads 
-    * //Ferry// - to avoid ferries if possible 
-  * **[[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/YOURS|YOURS]]** - open source routing engine offers point-to-point route calculation suitable for guidance without voice commands 
-  * **[[http://project-osrm.org/|OSRM]]** - another open source routing engine 
-  * **[[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=btools.routingapp|BRouter]]** - offline routing engine requiring independent BRouter application installed. Provides full calculation of routes suitable for guidance. <WRAP tip round>BRouter provides also an [[manual:user_guide:tracks:planning:brouter|alternative route planning methods engaging "via" and "nogo" points >>]]</WRAP> 
-  * **GraphHopper** - BETA version of an offline routing engine. More information [[http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=4036.0|here >>]] 
  
-<WRAP round info>Interesting comparison of OpenStreetMap online routing engines can be found [[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Routing/online_routers|here >>]]+===== Router ===== 
 + 
 +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 routers**. Each router 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 ==== 
 +  * **[[https://www.graphhopper.com/|GraphHopper]]** - very fast and data-efficient routing service. Suitable for all ordinary outdoor activities - 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 with sub-settings - avoiding highways, tolls, and ferries. 
 +  * **[[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/YOURS|YOURS]]**- open source routing engine offers point-to-point route calculation suitable for guidance without voice commands. It has very good results in calculating **bike routes** (fast/short) but can be used also in a car (fast/short routes too).

 +==== OFFLINE ==== 
 + 
 +  * **[[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=btools.routingapp|BRouter]]** - external offline router - requires the installation of an independent application **BRouter** and downloading offline navigation data: 
 +    * 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 |}} 
 +    * Confirm downloading of the selected data file. 
 + 
 +BRouter offers many more routing profiles with additional configuration: 
 + 
 +{{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace18.png?nolink |}} 
 + 
 +You can also change the profile selection:

 +=== Advanced settings === 
 +{{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace19.png?nolink |}} 
 +With these, you can link external profiles to the in-app selection: 
 +  * tap an in-app profile and select the corresponding external profile from the roll-out selection:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace20.gif?nolink |}} 
 +  * rename the in-app profile, if necessary 
 +<WRAP center round tip> 
 +**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. **[[https://github.com/poutnikl/Brouter-profiles/wiki|Poutnik's GitHub page]]** provides further information as well as many ready-to-use profiles which should be downloaded and placed in the directory **/Locus/router/profiles2**.

-  * **No voice** - option to disable voice commands +===== Link with presets ===== 
-  * **Text-to-speech** - Google text-to-speech automatic system  +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 |}} 
 +===== Select voice =====
  
-It is possible to download other voice sets from the [[manual:user_guide:locus_store|Locus Store]] or from [[http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=community:navigation_custom_voice_files|Locus community]]. +  * **No voice**  - voice commands are disabled 
-==== Auto-recalculation ==== +  * **Text-to-speech**  - Android text-to-speech automatic system. TTS voice can be set in **[[manual:user_guide:settings:lang_units|Language&Units]]** settings section.

 +===== Route re-calculation ===== 
 +==== AUTOMATIC ==== 
 + 
 +{{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:naviset02.png?nolink |}} 
 +Navigation route is recalculated automatically if the deviation from the former route is greater than the parameter **distance for recalculation**. If you don't follow the recalculated route, Locus Map will recalculate it **once again after 30 seconds**. You will need **internet connection** in case an **online routing service** is selected (e.g. GraphHopper Online or YOURS). For **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:point-to-point#offline_navigation|offline routing]]** it is necessary to additionally download and install **BRouter** co-app and download **offline routing data**. There are 3 options: 
 + 
 +  * **No auto recalculation**  - the function is switched OFF - Locus switches to guidance to the nearest point of the original route 
 +  * **Point priority**  - Locus recalculates the route to the nearest transit (or 'via') point on the planned route. If there are no 'via' points, it recalculates the route to the final point. 
 +  * **Route priority**  - used when you deviate from the original line and want to get back to it - Locus navigates you to the original line as soon as possible and on the nearest place - the line (route) matters. 
 + 
 +==== MANUAL ==== 
 +Settings for manual recalculation that can be triggered from **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation#control_menu|navigation panel]]**. 
 + 
 +===== Out of route notification ===== 
 + 
 +Check this option if you want Locus Map to warn you when you **accidentally leave your route**. Set the alert **distance**, alert **repetition** and **type of sound** (beep, voice…):\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:naviset03.png?nolink |}} 
 +===== Line style ===== 
 +{{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:naviset05.png?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 ==== ==== Maximum allowed deviation ====
-Deviation distance value in metres triggering auto recalculation. 
-==== Out of track notification ==== 
-Check this option if you want Locus Map to warn you when you accidentally leave your route. Set the alert distance, alert repetition and type of sound (beep, voice...). 
-==== Advanced settings ==== 
-  * **Strict route navigation** - during navigation Locus Map automatically optimizes the route so that it navigates along the shortest way to the final destination - avoids detours, makes shortcuts etc. Checking this option switches off this optimization - useful when //the journey is the goal// - and Locus navigates stricly trackpoint by trackpoint along the route. 
-  * **Invalid distance** - sets maximum allowed deviation from the route  before switching navigation to guidance 
-  * **Snap to track** - check to maintain the exactly defined track during navigation without deviations 
-  * **Number of commands** - defines number of voice commands during track navigation: 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. 
  
-===== Style on Map ===== +Sets maximum allowed deviation from the route before switching navigation to guidance 
-==== Color ==== +==== Snap to route ==== 
-Sets the color of navigation lines and texts+ 
-==== Width of route ==== +Ignores slight inaccuracies of GPS positioning and maintains the navigation cursor position on the navigated route 
-Defines width of the route line in pixels.+==== 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%)
