Keep Losing Routes

@ronald-adams said in Keep Losing Routes:
@Corjan-Meijerink The one I find impossible to create new routes or edit existing routes is called MyRoute-app mobile. The symbol is a circle with a downward point and a + in the center. The one I find excellent for my route building is called MyRoute-app Navigation. Its symbol is a circle with a pointer angled up and to the right. Please don't let that be the one being eliminated.
That is VERY strange, since the MyRoute-App Navigation app can not be used to create routes AT ALL (or you must mean simple AtoB routes starting from your location to only one destination). It is solely intended as a navigation app, not as a routeplanner app. And it will be discontinued this summer because a new navigation module is being integrated in MyRoute-App Mobile (the all-in-one solution).
Left is Mobile, right is Navigation. So sooner or later only the left one will remain.
@Con-Hennekens I agree, it is strange. So far I have created 15 routes, each containing 60 or more waypoints. Each of these were created on the app you have identified as navigation and suggesting what I have done is impossible. After completing each route it has subsequently show on the website. On line I am able to open the routes, share them, and do any of the things that I really have no interest in doing. All I want is an app that I can use to plan a mulistop route and later navigate that route, hopefully using the same device I used to create it.
Yesterday I tested the other app identified as the one designed for planning. It was impossible to use on my 7 x 4 tablet so I used my windows laptop with a 14 inch monitor. It took two hours to build a 20 waypoints route and took another hour to make all of the edits, even though I was using my tablet ant the " navigation" app to do that.
Sorry, but I will have to live with CoPilot and work around the deficiencies I was trying to get away from. At least I learned how to "work around" one of Copilit's weaknesses buy using the "navigation" app to feel that my 3 year subscription fee was not completely wasted. -

For clarity, it has been possible to create routes in MyRoute-App Navigation for a long time as indicated by @ronald-adams.
You can see the Crosshairs and the blue button at the bottom adds the waypoint to the position of the crosshairs.
You don’t stop riding when you get old, you get old when you stop riding.

You can enable ‘Place Waypoint Button’ from the Toolkit menu.You don’t stop riding when you get old, you get old when you stop riding.

I have no interest in rapidly plotting my routes.
My preferred road types are the narrow twisty country lanes with no pavements for walkers.
I use the Routeplanner Street View specifically to check for as many of these types of roads I can string together, obviously there will be the odd A or B (UK Definitions) roads I need to use to get to these Country Lanes.The main point however, is that MRA Navigation which you are currently using to plot your routes in, will be soon be completely removed and replaced with MyRoute-App Mobile which is currently being developed to replace it for Navigation.
I applaud you for your determination in using such a small device to plot your routes, but I'll happily stick to the full blown RoutePlanner experience on my PC or my iPad Pro.

I NEVER used that option, and seems to be an extremely clumsy way of making scenic routes. But I can imagine it has some value for other purposes. I cannot imagine making 60 WP routes in that way, cetrainly not in areas you are not familiar in. I use the full browser version as well, and prefer the Michelin overlay. Just route over the "green" roads as much as you can, and a beautiful route is guaranteed!

@Steve-Lynch Sorry for leaving out relevant details about where the addresses that I am using to create a route and why they are chosen. My wife spends several weeks,and sometimes months, finding sites that we might find interesting to see. The search begins with historic ( in the US that might mean pre 1900) homes, churches, libraries, rail depots and such. These are mostly in small to large towns and occasionally cities. She uses Bing maps because that is what she is familiar with. She also arranges the order to make the routing as efficient as possible. Since you cannot save maps easily she creates a text itinerary which she gives to me for input to the navigation system we are using at the time. In the past we have tried Tomtom on a hand held, Street and Trips on a Linovo net book with an external locater attached, and now CoPilot loaded on my Samsung tablet. That is why I find it relatively easy to input the addresses while readjusting the routes with the use of appropriately placed additional waypoints. We often will route around roads we have used recently but we have been RVng throughout the US for many years that often that is difficult. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the further info.
Enjoy your trips and stay safe.
