What is Guide to/Guide on?

Best Answer

Consider this rather as "Guide (on)" for turning guiding on, and "Guide (off)" for turning guiding off. Nothing more.

I call "guide to" function on a POI usually when walking or cycling somewhere. I use it to get a line between that POI and my GPS position / the map center and the line shows me direction, aerial distance etc. So it's no route navigation, but it's extremely quick, completely offline and it still helps me very well to find my way.


IIRC you can also use it to be guided along a track.

Hi Georg D, Thank you for your relpy

Yes, maybe it's not a route navigation

Maybe "guide to" is a single point navigation. that is "goto navigation". Is it right?

So, What is "guide on"?

Is it a guided along a track?

IIRC, it is "Navigate". Is it not?

I guess maybe that is from point to point navigation, that is, "multi points navigation". Is it right?

Hi Menion, Thank you for your link

Maybe I understand navigation of 3 mode


  1. Route navigation, it is using route, generated routing
  2. Track navigation, it is using recorded track in Tracks Tab
  3. Point navigation, it is using point in Points Tab

Agree, this is how you may apply these three types to route/track/waypoint.

Maybe, Locus is able to navigate in 4 different modes:


  1. "Navigate to"(Route navigation), it is able to navigate in route, generated auto routing.
  2. "Navigate"(Track navigation), it is able to navigate in recorded track in Tracks Tab, maybe generated passive routing
  3. "Guide on"(Waypoint navigation), maybe it is able to navigate in point in Track Tab
  4. "Guide to"(POI navigation), it is able to navigate in point in Points Tab


is it right or wrong?
