Create Reminderpoints

Sorry for the strange expression, but I think it fits:
I want to add a position to route, at which i want to be reminded to call the tower or switch in ATIS or something like that.
When I edit the route it would be finest to say "10 Min before reaching VRP Alpha", but I cannot even insert it via GPS-coordinates (haven't found out how) or a long tap on the screen (Maybe because it is a point along the route?).
I inserted a waypoint via long tap lightly besides my route and edited it's GPS coordinates. Worked so far. But I think I havn't understood how this was ment to be done.

Besides:
Great Work, I love this app!

Greetings
Martin

- Have a look: http://funair.cz/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5709 , route guide starts at 18:20.
(There was some improvments which are not shown at the videoguide like rubber band)

- After you crete route, you can edit each WPT (long press it or swipe it from left to the right)
- Fill message and press OK.
- When you fly the route and WPT is selected (auto or manually) you will see the message...

Hello,

just a suggestion - as a "work around".

You could use the second NAV2 feature and set it to your desired spot e.g. (VOR / WP / etc.). Next you set the DME warner/reminder, e.g. 10 miles, or whatever needed to fulfill your task.

Happy landings,
Laotse

Ok, thanks, both helped me.
I have watched the complete video and I learned a lot,
I also decided to learn what is NAV1 and NAV2 ;) .
But both provide me just with a go-around, I can live with.
The idea inserting "user-defined" waypoints by just telling "10nm before waypoint #3" is not considered to be future feature ?
( For contact tower 10 min before VRP Alpha , or 20nm after waypoint #2 I have to change the fuel tank, or ... . )
I do not know, if only I have such ideas.
