RECONSTRUCTION
Routes are strings of routepoints along which user is guided or navigated during his activity - hiking, biking etc.
Routes are pre-planned, drawn on maps or imported and put into navigation devices so that we can travel along their lines. Tracks that were recorded by you or someone else can be turned into routes when we need to navigate them.
Routes can be drawn manually on the map or automatically by an online routing service, offline routing app, PC software or web application. Locus Map provides several methods of creating routes:
This tool can be switched on several ways:
The line between points stretches straight in case of manual drawing or runs along roads and paths in case of automatic drawing.
The route is built by shaping points added on map:
The route line, rendered between shaping points, contains also auxiliary points . Both shaping and auxiliary points can be moved on map and the route is immediately re-rendered accordingly. By moving an auxiliary point you change it into a shaping point and new aux points are created in between.
Via points are places you want to go through when navigating the route - the voice navigation will notify you of them and in case of route recalculation the via points are not detoured.
Via points can be created out of shaping points:
By moving a via point on map in route planner it changes back to a shaping point.
LoMap dynamic points of interest can be added to your route too:
Your own interesting places or downloaded geocaches can be added to your route:
Define a new point by an address, coordinates, projection etc. and add it to your route.
You can start navigation along the planned route right from the route planner:
When you are done with all edits, save your route!
If you are dissatisfied with your planning or for whatever reason want to abort all planning, tap Delete route in the route menu:
If you want to plan routes offline (or navigate offline), download and install free co-application BRouter. Download also offline routing data of the area you are planning the route through and set BRouter as default router in navigation settings.
Tracks can be turned into routes when they are intended for navigation or guidance:
If you want to edit saved tracks (e.g. due to inaccuracy of the GPS recording) or already planned route, you can do so directly on map:
Each single edit action must be individually saved by OK button before proceeding on some other place
TIP: when two coincident trackpoints covering each other occur and you want to add navigation command to the other that is not displayed, tap the point twice to switch between them.
