Hello!
I'm new to navigation on Android and was told Locus does a great job in outdoors navigation, so I got myself the Locus Pro 2.14.
However, I have a problem navigating tracks which are in KMZ format. I've downloaded the following file:
http://www.duesseldorf.de/verkehrsmanagement/google_earth/routenverlauf5.kmz (http://www.duesseldorf.de/verkehrsmanagement/google_earth/routenverlauf5.kmz)
I'm using this map:
http://www.openandromaps.org/maps/Germany/nordrhein-westfalen.zip
with this theme:
http://www.openandromaps.org/wp-content/files/themes/locus/andromaps_hc.zip
In the next step I've imported the kmz (following http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manual:import_dialog#how_to_import) and copied the kmz file into mapsVector/_themes.
Now I want to do a simple navigation, meaning when I am the starting point of the track, I want Locus to show me the track/route on the map which I've copied in vector maps and maybe guide with some voice assistance through the track.
Unfortunately I have not been able to use "Navigate to" with the track in the KMZ file. I've been looking around on the web for a solution, but I didn't find anything that helped me further.
Could someone do a step by step guide, which shows me what to do? That would be really nice.
Thank you for your time,
Chris
1. Load kmz
2.tap on a point of the track for getting the track/route options.
3. choose Guide on. (see image)
4. move the center a bit away from the choosen point. Now you should hear the navigation voice.
Hi,
thank you for your answer. I've followed your instructions, but I can't hear any voice guiding.
I tested this track yesterday and when I am on the track, I don't get any navigation guidance (take a left, take a right in 50 m). Am I missing here something?
Also, where I can make a the track line thicker and change the color? Mine is a thin yellow line.
I've imported your kmz file into Locus and confirmed voice assistance in 'Guide on' to work.
In addition to jusc's instruction, check the followings between 1. and 2.
- GPS is Off (top panel button)
- [Settings] -> [Guiding] -> TRACKS-[Notification settings]
-> 'TYPE OF NOTIFICATION'-Notify when switching to another point
-> 'SETTINGS OF SOUND'-[Text-to-speech] is checked

To change appearance of all tracks in a folder at once
- [Data] -> TRACKS tab -> Tap Tools button on the right -> [Edit]
To change appearance of each track
- [Data] -> TRACKS tab -> tap your track -> Tap Tools button at bottom -> [Edit] -> APPEARANCE tab -> confirm 'Use syle of the folder' is OFF
that's correct.
here are two screenshots, one for speech, one for thickness and colour of tracks (German)
