just as
Expresses that something is exactly the same way or to the same degree as something else. It is used for a direct comparison, often in the combination 'genauso … wie' (just as … as).

The word 'genauso' is a compound of 'genau' (exactly) and 'so' (so / like that). It literally means 'exactly like that' and is used to express complete agreement or correspondence.
Mach es bitte genauso, wie ich es dir gezeigt habe.
Please do it exactly the same way I showed you.
For comparisons, 'genauso' is used in the fixed structure 'genauso + adjective/adverb + wie' (just as + adjective/adverb + as). The 'wie' introduces the second part of the comparison.

Common comparisons with 'genauso' are 'genauso gut wie' (just as good as), 'genauso wichtig wie' (just as important as), and 'genauso viel wie' (just as much as). It emphasizes that there is no difference in degree or amount.

exact / precise
'genau' and 'genauso' can both express that something is correct or the same. The most important difference is: 'genau' emphasizes exactness or confirms a statement. 'genauso' is usually used for a comparison: something is the same way or to the same degree as something else. People often say 'genauso ... wie' (just as ... as). The words can be confused because both are possible as short forms of agreement. As a simple answer, however, 'genau' is more direct; for comparisons, 'genauso' is more natural.
