Hi,Locus。
I added 1 navigation waypoint to the planned route (5 in Picture 1), but picture 2 still does not show my own added waypoint, and it will not be announced during navigation, what is the problem?

You added an ordinary waypoint this way, not a navigation via(way)point. What you need is a via(way)point which you create using the route planner.

Someone gived me a track,How could I add a navigation waypoint into the track with out the router planner?

Without a scheduler, the VIA point can be added to the file using a text editor, if you write the WPT tag correctly.  For example:
<wpt lat="53.325140" lon="28.6281250">
<name>my point</name>
<sym>z-ico02</sym>
<extensions>
<locus:rtePointAction>pass_place</locus:rtePointAction>
</extensions>
</wpt>
Please note that the coordinates of this VIA point must match one of the points on the track.

I think it's easier to put a simple dot near the track and turn on the alert.

As above with a text editor.

I suppose the intention is to just add a via point for the announcement @ navigation this without triggering a recalculation ?
Once in a very distant Locus past you could easily create this with the track editor. With current versions you can't do this anymore I don't think anyway.
Since I hardly still use the Locus route planner anymore because of an easier alternative, I may not have noticed another Locus map possibility yet.

By means of Notepad++, you can promote EVERY track point (if you know exactly which one) into a via track point.
You edit the corresponding track point (no typo..track point) and then add a sym with pass_place text.  Done.
If you want a custom announcement you can also add a name tag text in that same track point without any problem.
After the track import Locus will recognize all this as a via track point and announce it in the navigation as well.

However, I suspect that almost nobody will want to do that very cumbersome detour via Notepad++.
