Manually drawing a route for navigation
Not a Problem
situation:
In the US. Navigate from Milport Alabama to Columbus Mississippi along highway 96(in Alabama) and highway 50 in Mississippi. Drawing a route with `Add new route & measure` the route will not go directly along highway 96/50 but will go around another circuitous route. This is a problem.
The same problem 
I think Locus can`t do much for you as the navigation routes are calculated by internet services as described here:
http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manu...
Did you try the other offered sources? My personal experience is that Mapquest is the best on for car navigation.

I have tried both.
Don`t know about cloudmade but with MapQuest in its own app or on its web page it will calculate directly on highway 96/50. I do not know what the problem is. Perhaps it is how Locus requests routing (merely speculation on my part).
There is a work around. The problem is that the routing will not crose state lines or county lines (in other places I have found). Draw up to the lines then turn off navigation. Draw the next point just over the line and then turn navigation again (slow and tedious).
I would like to find a fix. I ride a motorcycle and like to ride on secondary roads. Maybe the problem just shows in Mississippi because going into Mississippi and around the state are the only places I have noticed this behavior.
Thanks,
Gene

Gene, may you please write me start and target point coordinates, so I can test it on my device also? As tommi wrote, I cannot directly fix something in online services that compute routable track. Anyway I can at least check, if locus correctly handle incomming path and also check why MapQuest web side return different result then in Locus.

Any progress on this?

Menion is still on holidays, so no progress.

I do not know if problem is still there, but in case it is, then as @tommi wrote, I can't do much about it. So it's required to fix problem in OSM data itself, or contact map provider
