Distances between waypoints

[Wallace Shackleton]

How about including the distance between each waypoints rather than a cumulative number?
eg,
Start .......0km 0km
Waypoint 1 100km 100km
Waypoint 2 200km 300km
Waypoint 2 400km 700km

This would make planning especially between stages of a big trip a whole lot easier when roughing out a route, as compared to looking at big numbers such as 2372km, 2606 km and 3204km and deciding if that is an achievable distance between waypoints/destinations.

@Wallace-Shackleton I sort of am onboard with this idea as I do spend a lot of time subtracting the distance from one point to another
however I would definetley not want to see both the cumulative & individual distances displayed at the same time
my preference would be for a toggle switch at the top of the waypoint list that enabled the user to flip between the different measurement styles

For those with a Gold subscription, the calculator in the toolkit can tell you the time and distance between any two route points.

When you want to know the distance anywhere in your routes, simply click on the altitude gaphics map

Now hoover with your mouse over the graphic and you see the exact position and altitude after xxx km.

On the map this position is sowed with a little flag with the altitude. In this way you can schedule your route very precisely

Hey @Wallace-Shackleton ,
The waypoints list offers the km between the WP always added up.

Hey MRA team... I totally agree with @Wallace-Shackleton. Normally you always plan whole length of journey at first, then later split the route in proper daily rides. Therefore the distance between consecutive waypoints in the waypoints list would be very, very useful, a really cool feature. BTW: all other solutions above are clumsy and not really useful. Best regards, Matjaz

I do not agree, the planner gives you all tools that are needed to do any kind of calculation for any perfect route.

That's always in the eye of the beholder.
Every platform has its own characteristics and approaches to achieving the goal.

Once I have decided on a platform, I need to familiarize myself with the options available, then I can intuitively use the tools at my disposal.

But to say that the options are not helpful but cumbersome is definitely NOT correct.

I agree with Jörgen 100% on this.
The platform includes all the tools you need to plan a perfect tour.
