You presumably mean the announcement of a Via Point ? 
You can add via points using the route planner.
You can assign a free name to each via point.
A via name is announced just like turns by TTS.

@Menion

The Webplanner.
The result by 5.5 kmh is more realistic.
Optimal is to be able set custom speed.
And a gpx export inclusive timestamps.

Anyway find an advisable fine tool here:
Track analyser

[configurable]

No other route planner generates time stamps.

Well, some other do, by means of a configurable avg speed set up.
A correctly timestamped track can so be quite informative.
In attachment a simple timestamped track.  Avg speed set: 4 kmh.
According to the route planner, you need 1h32' to walk from the train station to my local pub.
The terrain is flat and simple so the timestamps calculated by avg speed are representative.

Also the Plotaroute web planner adds reference timestamps in track points.
The Plotaroute web planner seems to be very optimised for ETA calculations.

I did not try all this, anyway those interested can give it a try anyway.
Gpx downloads by Plotaroute can add Locus compatible navigation hints (if set).
Download as: GPS > GPX > Track > Directions > Download this route.

gpx>gpz ist ähnlich wie kml>kmz. In seiner einfachsten Form, ein geziptes gpx oder kml datei.

A13 Motorola. (No A14 experience)

Android/media is more comfortable as fewer obstacles pop up.

In Android/data, the only way to access the Locus folder is via the default Android file browser. This one is somewhat 'hidden' but the following app gives you quick access. This app functions as a shortcut to the default Android file browser.

Versuchen Sie dies.

Ich habe gerade nur einen kurzen virtuellen Test gemacht, und Sie müssen in einer Echtzeitsituation weiter testen.
Wenn Sie während einer geplanten MTB-Abfahrt eine Off-Track-Warnung erhalten, schaltet sich Ihr Display ein und dimmt dann mit der eingestellten Display-Aus-Zeit ab. Wenn Sie die Off-Track-Warnungen kurz hintereinander auslösen (kürzer als die eingestellte Display-Off-Zeit), bleibt das Display dauerhaft an. Und wenn Ihnen die Einstellung gefällt, speichern Sie sie in der bevorzugten Einstellung Preset: "MTB profi".

- das Display bei Abweichung vom geplanten Track nicht abschaltet.

Radfahrer mit dem Telefon an der Lenkerhalterung?
Wenn es aus irgendeinem Grund erwünscht ist, dass das Display für kurze oder langere Zeit durchgehend aktiv ist, kann dies mit einem Schwung über den Näherungssensor erreicht werden.  Vorausgesetzt, man stellt ihn in der cfg-Konfiguration so ein. Warum interessante Einstellungen so tief versteckt sind und deshalb allzu oft unentdeckt bleiben, ist und bleibt kurios.

@ franc.

GraphHopper offline wird bei den meisten Apps nach den seit A11 entstandenen Schwierigkeiten nicht mehr angeboten. Allerdings gibt es jetzt wieder ein neues Angebot für GH Offline-Routing mittels die Cruiser-App.  Dies sowohl dan in der App als auch in der Desktop-Version. (Offline) (GH online ist bezahlservice)
Allerdings bleibt es so, dass die GH (Offline-Routing) auch seine eigenen "Ticks" hat. Somit ist kein grenzüberschreitendes Offline-Routing möglich. Bis auf die eine "spezielle" Routingdatei "Alps" wird hier den gemeinsamen Alpenraum angeboten.  Die GH- "Graph"routing Updates sind auch nicht so häufig im Angebot wie beim den BRouter. 
Brouter web wird täglich aktualisiert. Marcus 'Bikerouter' sogar mehrmals am Tag. Nicht wirklich notwendig, es sei denn, man ist ein osm Mitarbeiter ist und so schnell nach einer neuen Bearbeitung seine neuen Ergebnisse zur Verifizierung verderben.

Manchmal fehlte mir ein Hinweis, hätte mir einen gewünscht, und wenn die Strecke kurzzeitig komplizierter war, mehrere aufeinanderfolgende kurze Abschnitte und Richtungsänderungen, besonders rechts-links/links-rechts-Kombos, wurde als Ersatz 'bitte rechts halten' zb. generiert, was zwar stimmt wenn man sich die Strecke aus der Vogelperspektive anschaut, aber nicht down on earth vor Ort hilft bildete auf jeden Fall die Komplexität der Strecke nicht ab.

Dank der nächsten BRouter-"Norm".

Solange sich dieser unsinnige "brouter"-Standard turninstructionCatchingRange=40 in die verschiedenen Routing-Profile einschleicht, ist das Elend garantiert.

Allgemein > Ratschläge.
Fügen Sie immer eine gpx-Datei als Beispiel bei. Bilder allein sind nicht genug.

And if there is a crossing in the distance of x meters. Then Locus sets the point not exactly at 500 meters, but x meters after the intersection.

How can Locus known there is a crossing before the creation of the new map matched track/route ?
First you can just accept that there is or will be mistakes. This by a trackglitch and thereby creates false instructions and a correcting U-turn. Notice the U-turns are positioned on the exact same location spot as the now map matched Planner (Via or Shaping) resulting trackpoint.
Be happy, so just let it happen. As you the user will be warned immediately ! These trackglitches are now nicely INDICATED by the Locus trackglitch detector tool. (Red circle)
What to do ?
Find the Route planner Point (Via or Shaping) and move this into a favarouble position further on the expected road direction or path, and so the indicator gets cleared now, and also the result will be fine.  (Yes the final correction is so still to do by some human planner operator interaction)

[Targets]

After importing the gpx into the route planner, some attached Shaping Points are now automatically offered in the Locus route planner.  I had a first test...sure works pretty nice usefull.

- By the way, you can also set Via Points as the default in the Locus route planner Settings.
- Only Turn and Via points lead to navigation alerts and give distance values @ navigation.

The planner point placement is random. It's hard to do otherwise since the (recorded) import track NOW is not yet matched with the BRouter osm data.
That will come later and that is precisely the final task that you want to accomplish by using the route planner.

The advantage is, if you now reposition one of the shaping points or create an additional one, you will not suddenly change the entire track loop (based on the imported track) total unexpectedly.
In short, you will only change a small segment at a time, possibly still drastically and unexpectedly ;-)
These unexpected larger deviations are of course also influenced by the selected Brouter routing profile in use. Select this as correctly as possible according to you expected usage.

Now it concerns only a small segment piece and so you have better control of it to produce your route as an "osm map matched track" slowly but controlled this segment by segment.
If you have the original track import then also presented in a different color then you have a perfect guide to accomplish this task quite comfortably.

I see that you also briefly mentioned Kurviger.

In Locus, the Shaping Points are only used as route reference points during the production of a map matched track route traject.
Once in the navigation and also by means of the gpx transfers this useful info is completely neglected and thus almost completely lost.
There is still a residual associated track point left but this is hardly reflected or found in the very large numbers of track points.
If you then also use Locus autorouting to point in the navigation, the useful shaping points are also not available anymore as point targets.

The big difference with the (imo) superior Kurviger results are therefore as follows:

Both the Via Points and the Shaping Points are neatly stored in the navigation as well as in the .kurviger file transfers.
In Kurviger the Via Points AND the Shaping Points are both planner router references as well as Targets in the navigation.
The autorecalculation in Kurviger is always directed to either a Via or a Shaping Point. Ready and clear known targets.

The difference is this.
A Via Point is announced in navigation both by audio TTS as well as visually.
A Shaping Point (= a muted Via Point) is therefore NOT announced.
Promoting a neatly kept Shaping Point to Via Point or vice versa is so very simple

very nice system IMHO

But only really VERY valuable if a track glitch detector (prevention) is also provided. And on condition that both the very useful Via and Shaping Planner points are transferred into the gpx file.  This nice web planner, especially the version of Marcus with its exceptionally fast updates, loses its "brilliance" because of an insufficiently performant gpx transfer mode. It can be done simply, very discreetly, and robustly. This has been amply demonstrated and tested.

A track glitch decetion and warning may be nice, but you also need to have the right tools to fix it. And you can do that on the condition that you fully respect and  preserves the cause of it, namely the planner point(s), and so can thus also reposition them.  Therefore both planner points must remain fully supported and available also after and through a gpx file transfer. Since this is the only transfer method for BRouter web, in contrast to the Locus 'Gold' eco system where the exchange is of course more direct. A question of customer loyalty ;-)
