Use POI as a waypoint

[Scott Horton]

I've got some POI's built but I don't see any way to use a POI as a waypoint? Am I missing something?

@Scott-Horton When you click on a POI to use it, first click the + add button then you have a choice to add as a POI or waypoint. It’s better to add as a POI because normally they are positioned off of the road. Add as a POI and place a route point on the road.

Hmm, I'm not getting that option. I am on a PC using the tool via the web interface. The POI already exists. I'm making a route that is near it and I want to make it a waypoint. If I click on the (alrady existing) POI, I get this:

I see no "+" button on the web interface..

@Scott-Horton This is because the POI has been added manually via the manage tab and not added via the MRA POI library. The option to use the POI as a waypoint is only available for POIs that come from the library.
My advice re: not using a POI as a route point still stands. Just click on the road (before) by the POI and add a route point.
