Since OsmAnd sadly does not have a desktop version (and none appears to be 
planned), and since openstreetmap.org does not at all allow customising 
navigation routes, what are some desktop (browser) tools that people use to 
plan hiking/cycling routes with custom waypoints, and later navigate them 
in OsmAnd by loading the GPX file? 

A few that I've considered:

   - the most obvious choice, Google Maps (MyMaps), is no good as it 
   (still) doesn't know many footpaths etc.
   - Komoot: its desktop interface is quite rudimentary:the autocomplete 
   search is abysmal, and waypoints along the route often have their names 
   lost (and replaced them "Waypoint 1, 2, ..") and are anyway not included 
   in  the exported GPX file (as I explain in another post 
   
<https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!topic/osmand/UIKIM3d6D6k>
   )
   - Bikemap.net: no hiking, no lat/long search, few searchable POIs
   - BRouter.de: very powerful, but couldnt find a way to define waypoints 
   based on OSM POIs 
   - Kurviger.de: again, VERY good tool, but only for motorbikes, not 
   cycling/hikes
   - cycle.travel: doesn't create waypoints lists, doesn't work well in 
   Chrome
   - GraphHopper.com: very buddy - sharing URL damages waypoints, no route 
   drag&drop
   - AllTrails: does not allow defining waypoints though search (only via 
   lat/lon), nor dragging start&end points
   - the desktop software Garmin BaseCamp seems to really be made for use 
   with Garmin external devices, and in either requires payment to buy mapping.

Thanks any opinions on this!
