Flexible "add via points" function in "route and measure" track design.
Completed
Actual: by config .cfg: Choose a prefered fixed setting.
New: If no via's is prefered modus, allow to place MUST PASS VIA by a second +tap at the same location. A single first +tap adds a "soft via" -> next +tap at same position a change to "hard VIA" -> a next -tap at same position back to "soft via". Save and keep the hard = MUST PASS VIAS only in finalised trackdesign.
I like this idea 
I am not absolutely sure that a simple second tap would be best because it happens quite often that it is interpreted as very short drag of the point.
Maybe a long tap and in addition to the already available options "Edit" & "Delete" a new option "Promote as Via" would be best.
Anyway, I would really appreciate such option. I missed it already quite often to distinguish between points used just to manipulate the route and real must pass via points.

New track creation:
- Quick Double +Set (-Set) tapping results in normal undelayed fast track creation.
- Best no extra delays by long taps nor new extra menus to select such simple action !
I think this should cause no operational problem because:
- Inaccurate points position placement by user is corrected by magnetic "snap to road" action.
- There is no map dragging by "on panel" double tap +set to "Via" (Down arrow) or by tap - set to "Non Via".
- Minimum new point separation is > 10m or prevents 'accidental' point creation by small position shift.
- Only when positioned in 10m dia point "area" status to "Via" or back to "Non Via" is changeble by +set or -set.
Existing track:
- In existing edit on map function a "promote to Via" could be added by:
- In function "Convert to navigation waypoint": -> Select Icon: Add "Via" (Down arrow).

How to add a "Must Pass Via" by +set tap. See demo video:
https://youtu.be/f3MK6nnoCbc
Demo by Locus 3.17.2.1 Beta. "Quick Add point" = by tap on map.
+set = promote to "via". - set = promote to "non via"
Use cases:
Promote to Via Point by +SET tap.
Example: User standard set up is "no via points". By config.cfg: "dev_enable_add_new_route_via_points=0"
After point is set (on road) by the autorouter: Map Screen = auto centering around this point.
Tap +SET: "Pop up" display: "Distance between points is too short". Here should be placed: "MUST PASS VIA".
Promote to Non Via by -SET tap.
Example: User standard set up is "add via points". By config.cfg: "dev_enable_add_new_route_via_points=1"

A better expression ? A "Non Via" Point could also be named: A "Shaping Point".
Only in use to build (steer) a track design and removed when saving the final resulting track design.

First tap + SET: Add Shape Point.
Second tap +SET at same position: Promotes to "Via Priority Point" Preset name: Via Point.
Third tap +SET at same position: Promotes to "Info Priority Point" by offering free name edit and description.
By tap -SET: To a lower order setting until complete point removal. Also easy clearing of Information in Info Point.
Info Priority Point what is it good for ?

Hmm ... well ... implemented :). You will see in next version, but tap to toggle between "use as via-point" and "point only for creating route, but do not use as via-point", seems to be best solution. Thanks Willy!
