Webplanner - Adding points inside the route

Graf Geo shared this question 20 days ago

I’ve rarely used the web planner so far, but that might change following the latest improvements. What strikes me as a bit fiddly is that when I want to add a Point or a LoPoint within a route, it gets placed at the end of the route. Which, of course, makes no sense if the LoPoint is situated directly on the route, somewhere in the middle of the journey.

I now have to search through the list of waypoints in the left panel to find out between which waypoints the desired Point is located, so that I can then add it as a new waypoint using the plus icon. If my route consists of many waypoints, this is a bit tedious: I first have to zoom out again until I can see which waypoint numbers I’m currently between. Then I have to zoom in again to click on the desired LoPoint and add it.

It’s much easier in the app: for each LoPoint / own Point, you can choose whether to add it at the start, the end or at a suitable point along the route. It would be great if this were also possible in the web planner. Or am I just missing this option?

Hi,

We're still discussing how to add a waypoint the same way it is in the app. For the time being, you can insert a waypoint in the middle of the route by tapping the "+" in the itinerary between the nearest shaping points to create a vacant slot, and then tap "Add to route" in the pop-up menu over the waypoint on the map.

Thanks, Michal, but even then I still have to zoom out first until I can see the next shaping points and select the ‘+’ in the relevant segment. Oh well, that’s how it is for now. I’m keen to see how the web planner develops further.

There has been in a change in v2.12.1 (see https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/41669-many-issues-with-locus-web-app)

Try it again now. If you click on the route line now you get an intermediate point.

(You still have to use the itinerary if adding an intermediate lopoint - I can't find any lopoints which lie exactly on a generated route line anyway so that makes sense.)
