Hi Neil, a gesture might streamline the process a bit, indeed. Next rainy day I’ll look into that. An „M“ gesture for a marker and a „W“ gesture for a waypoint appears to be a good idea at first glance. Could be problematic if there is no waypoint event, though.
I’m curious if dropping markers in pan mode is a valid scenario anyway. Dropping a marker at current GPS position is okay, there is definitely a strong use case for that, though dropping markers in pan mode? What would that mark? It is pretty deliberate. Wouldn’t it make sense to change that so that in pan mode waypoints are created and saved without the detour via markers? Anyway, I’m looking forward to using waypoint creation on my device, as it would finally allow leaving the laptop at home.
