Add special folder for managing all NoGo points

Andrew Heard shared this idea 7 years ago
Gathering feedback

Nogo points are only visible in the Route Planner even though they are saved like other Locus points. They aren't otherwise visible on a map. If you forget the location of your Nogo point there is no way to find it again. If you have a growing collection of Nogo points there is no way to manage them. There is no way to share Nogo points.

This suggestion:

  • Expose all Nogo points via a special Nogo points folder.
  • These points can then be visible (active)/ deleted/ edited/ exported/ imported/ sorted consistent with other points/ folders.
  • Allow Nogo points to be visible (or hidden) on a map like other points/ POI (outside Route Planner mode).

The route planner in LM4 is now very good. Many good ideas have been integrated. Perhaps you can also include this point. I put NoGo points from time to time and don't even know which are there anymore. And at some point they interfere there. Some are only needed for an indefinite period.

If you could give them a name and they are all stored in a special points folder, then it would be easier to manage them and remove those that are no longer needed.

And this folder can be also used in the webplanner and sync

Is there already a timetable here or is it still a long way off?

I don't use NoGo points because they are not manageable. I would love to use them if the handling of "old NoGo points" would be more transparent.

or with the upcoming MyLibrary feature, not even a separate folder, but just a another "data type" in the same folder as related tracks & points - complete flexibility for the user to decide where NoGo points reside
