Hi,
I have recently purchased locus pro, but can't figure out how do I navigate through a route from a gpx file downloaded from the internet. an assistance would be highly appreciated!

Thanks,
Rotem

Hi,
Ypu can use the documentation for Locus

http://support.locusmap.eu/hc/en-us/articles/200197661-Types-of-navigation (http://support.locusmap.eu/hc/en-us/articles/200197661-Types-of-navigation)
2. ...navigate along a track.

Have fun.

Hi Christian,

thanks for the super fast reply.

actually I did already try the solution as described there, but even after starting to cycle I could not see any indication in the map of where I am or where I should go. there was only the route marked on the map with some arrows, but without instructions and without showing my location it was hard to make any use of it.

do you have an idea what is the problem?

thanks again,
Rotem

At first your position:
Your GPS is on? Green?
When type on the left icon at bottom. You will get a circle at your position changing to an arrow if you are moving.

Navigation:
If you see the GPX-File tap on it on the map and you will get  a second panel on the button as shown in second screen of (http://support.locusmap.eu/hc/en-us/articles/200197661-Types-of-navigation).
then tap on second from left. A menu with navigate will pop up. Tap on navigate.
