-Offers a selection of supported data sources. Each source has specific properties, some is functional online-only, some works offline (after downloading offline navigation data):
+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**.

-=== ONLINE ===
+==== ONLINE ====
-  * **[[http://www.mapquest.com/|MapQuest]]**- suitable for car and hike/bike navigation, data provide very detailed information. Further parameters can be adjusted:
+  * **[[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.
-      * //Limited access//  - to avoid roads with limited access (motorways)
+  * **[[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).
-      * //Toll roads//  - to avoid roads where charges can be applied
-      * //Unpaved//  - to avoid unpaved roads (useful for road cycling)
-      * //Ferry//  - to avoid ferries if possible
-  * **[[https://www.graphhopper.com/|GraphHopper]]** - very fast and data-efficient routing service. Suitable for all non-car navigations - GraphHopper three kinds of bike – **cycle**, **MTB** and **racing** and two types of walk – **walk** and **hike**. It can be used also in a car but without possibility to select toll-free roads.
-  * **[[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.
-  * **[[http://project-osrm.org/|OSRM]]**- another open source routing engine (deprecated)

+  * **GraphHopper**  - BETA version of an offline version of the routing engine. This option is displayed when a special add-on is installed. More information [[http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=4036.0|here >>]]
+===== Link with presets =====
+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 =====
-{{ :manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:navigace20.png?nolink |}}
+  * **No voice**  - voice commands are disabled
+  * **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.
+<WRAP center round tip>
+It is possible to download other voice sets from [[:manual:user_guide:locus_store|Locus Store > Features]].

-==== Select voice ====
+===== Route re-calculation =====
+==== AUTOMATIC ====
-A dialog with a **list of installed voice command sets**  opens:
+{{ :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 voice**  - option to disable voice commands
+  * **No auto recalculation**  - the function is switched OFF - Locus switches to guidance to the nearest point of the original route
-  * **Text-to-speech**  - Google text-to-speech automatic system. TTS works also with other voice features of Locus Map like **Training**  that can be added to your [[:manual:user_guide:tracks:recording|track recording]].
+  * **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.
-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]].
+  * **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.
-==== Auto-recalculation ====
+==== MANUAL ====
+Settings for manual recalculation that can be triggered from **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation#control_menu|navigation panel]]**.
-<wrap info>This option is available to Locus Map Pro users only.</wrap>
+===== Out of route notification =====
-Recalculates the route automatically if the deviation from the former route is greater than the parameter below. Needs internet connection in case an online routing service is selected (e.g. MapQuest 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. If you do not follow the recalculated route, Locus recalculates again after **30 seconds**. There are 3 options:
+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.
-  * **No auto recalculations**  - the function is switched OFF - Locus switches to guidance to the nearest point of the original route
+===== Advanced settings =====
-  * **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.
-==== Maximum allowed deviation ====
-Deviation distance value in metres triggering auto recalculation.
+==== Strict route following ====
-==== Out of route notification ====
+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 ====
-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 ====
+Sets maximum allowed deviation from the route before switching navigation to guidance
+==== Snap to route ====
-  * **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 nearest missed routepoint.

+Ignores slight inaccuracies of GPS positioning and maintains the navigation cursor position on the navigated route
-  * **Invalid distance**  - 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
-  * **Number 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 number of these commands: 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.
-===== Style on Map =====
-==== Color ====
+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 ====
-Sets the color of navigation lines and texts.
+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 ====
-==== Width of route ====
+When checked, the navigation is stopped and navigation panel removed when you get to the finish of your route
+==== Navigation cursors ====
-Defines width of the route line in pixels.
+Here you can select set of navigation cursors and set their size (50%-400%)
