Creating my own cycling routes from home?
Answered
Hi, i would really like to be able to map out my own cycling routes at home on my PC and then have the software ( locus map pro ) to be able to guide my through my route when i am cycling ( like a sat nav ) is this possible to do with this software?
For the online cycle route planning, you can with an advantage use the cycling dedicated planner/router Brouter-web , a web frontend for BRouter ( B as bicycle ) routing service, that exist as Android application as well, with Locus-BRouter integration ( BRouter application does not have own planning GUI ).
The router of the web has bicycle related features like consideration of elevations, OSM way types and qualities.
The web offers some standard routing profiles, and more is here .
You can then generate on the BRouter-web the GPX file of the route ( or from any other online planner of your choice) and import the file into Locus. If GPX is taken from BRouter, and recent profiles are used, it will provide navigation hints at crossings and junctions.

HI Jason, hi guys,
glad to see such a fruitful discussion...;) Thank you Libor for helping Jason. I'd just like to add that there are loads of route planning websites, not only BRouter.de, that export tracks in GPX format importable to Locus. E.g. Bikemap.net, GPSies.com... Locus can navigate along any GPX route but as a matter of fact BRouter routes come with pre-generated navigation commands (with others Locus generates them itself based on the shape of the route which is not as precise)
