-===== Following paths =====
-By following paths, you indicate the application what path you are currently doing, so it can:
-  * Automatically target a forward location on the path;
-  * Warn you if you are going too far from the path while using the Location Tracker.
-===== How to follow a path ? =====
-  * Display a path on the map (you can use any previously recorded or downloaded track, or [[en:help:1.4:landmarks:local-create-track|create a new path]]);
-  * Click anywhere on it {{:icon_01.png?nolink}} and select select it {{:icon_02.png?nolink}};
-  * Select the ''"**Follow path**"'' {{:icon_03.png?nolink}} menu item.
-The follow path options dialog is displayed.
-  * If you plan to follow the path in the opposite order it was recorded or created, check the ''"**Reverse order**"'' {{:icon_04.png?nolink}} option;
-  * If the path is looping and you plan to follow more than one loop, check the ''"**Loop**"'' {{:icon_05.png?nolink}} option;
-  * Optionally, you can change the distance of the automatically targeted forward location on the path {{:icon_06.png?nolink}};
-  * Click on ''"**Ok**"'' {{:icon_07.png?nolink}} to validate the options.

-A forward location on the path is automatically targeted {{:icon_08.png?nolink}}, and will change depending on the center location. The distance and direction to the targeted location is displayed in the target information box {{:icon_09.png?nolink}}.
-{{:icon_help.png?nolink}} While using the GPS Localization, be sure to lock the center location on the GPS location.
-===== How to modify or cancel the path following ? =====

-==== Leaving followed path warnings ====
-While [[en:help:1.4:landmarks:follow-path|following a path]], the Location Tracker can warn you if you are going too far away from it. Just check the option {{:icon_04.png?nolink}} to enable it. You can change the warn distance using the {{:icon_05.png?nolink}} setting.
-{{:icon_help.png?nolink}} This warning feature is not available if no path is currently being followed.
-When being more far than the chosen distance, the application will play various sound notifications to help you find your way without handling your device:
-  * When going even more far, the application will play two (2) "''**wrong way**''" beeps;
-  * When being more far that 1.5 times the chosen distance and still going more far, the application will play three (3) "''**wrong way**''" beeps;
-  * When going closer to the path, the application will play two (2) "''**right way**''" beeps.
-{{:icon_help.png?nolink}} As long as the Location Tracker is running, the application itself doesn't need to be started to receive the warns.
