Route creation

[droopstop]

I have created several routes and when I activate they all of them have the same fault. If I create a route of waypoints1,2,3,4 and 5 when I activate the route it always misses waypoint 1 and goes straight to waypoint 2. Any suggestions please mate, thank you

WPT-1 is start waypoint. So when you activate route, it is supposed you are at WPT-1.
WPT-1 is needed for calculating whole route length etc. In the near future it will be used for fuel calculation.

Hi!, how about visual route creation? It will be good that each WP will have "add to route" in menu by long tap. With respect...

Hi, I just uploaded upgrade, with "upgrading" long tap at the map. Yuo can select from:
- Nearest to tap position
- Nearest Airport VHFs
- Nearest METARs
- Create new WPT

Visual route creating will follow.

Still waiting for visual creating and adding the screen with route plan.

And one more, at present, when you have an activated route and open it for having ETA of some following point you will see the ETA in 12-hour format of UTC. It may lead to light confuse

I will change it to 24h format, next upgrade...

You must import wpt file first...
