Hello
thank you for this wonderful application, and I have some suggestions to support off-road routing, a feature found in other apps, and I wish Locus Map had:
This feature is supposed to be when you want the app to route from/to a place where there are no roads drawn on the map, which happens that the routing engines refuse to route and an error message appears, while in other applications there are other solutions where the program calculates a direct line for the nearest road and then It is completed via the routing engine and so on. Here is an example for further clarification:
If you are somewhere in the middle of the desert away from the roads and then you want to go to the nearest road and drive across it and then get off the road to another place in the desert away from the roads, all the navigation solutions available in the Locus Map will not work (Except through long solutions like using route planner), while in other applications that support this feature, the application draws a line Direct to the nearest road and then routed through the road, this feature is in OsmAnd (it is fully supported), Navitel and Organic maps (for destination only).
I do not know, it is possible that the solution is with the developers of routing engines such as (GraphHopper, BRouter, etc.) or it may be from the developers of applications in a way that integrates with the routing engines.
I hope you will find a solution to this problem to make the app better for desert and off road use
& Here is a video for more clarification (maybe I didn't succeed in explaining what I mean clearly):
Thank you and regards
