Choice for starting point of a route

I don’t think you’ve understood what Rob was trying to tell you.

This one-click function is also available in MRA.

You can only select a starting point if you navigate a route as route. If you navigate as track than the starting point is always the first point. In an earlier release this difference was not there.

@Lenny-O really, too much trouble to tap a wp to skip?

[Rob Verhoeff]

@Lenny-O How many buttons do you want on your screen to control everything with a single click? I think changing the starting point of your route is a simple and straightforward way to do it!

[Lenny O]

@RetiredWingMan It is not troble to skip one, but annoying if you have to skip many.

Thank you all for your thoughts, but I think you all are missing my point....
It's not about me, not about criticizing the App, not about me not knowing my options...
All I am saying is that MRA knows where I am and the route I am taking.
Just offering to start from the nearest Waypoint, like Garmin does, would be nice to have. Even if as a little pop-up.
All I am suggesting is a user-friendly way to start a route. I think that would make the App easier to use and be more appreciated.
So, no sarcasm or passive-agressive coments are needed.
I am trying to suggest something that would benefit everyone, at least in my mind.

Also, @herman-veldhuizen is absolutely correct in his statement. And that brings another twist into starting somewhere else other than the Start of the route.

Long press on any waypoint on screen to skip all previous waypoints. One manoeuvre, no extra buttons.

@Nick-Carthew Thanks, Nick! That's what I needed!!!
And I see that it works whether you navigate the Route as a Track or just navigate a Route!
Perfect!
Subject closed for me!

And MRA offers exactly this option as well!

That's great. Where is it documented in the support pages? I looked but couldn't find it.

Thanks

I’m not sure that it is documented yet.
