Move blocks of routepoints

[Jörgen]

I agree, copy and delete.

Hi,
I don't quite understand the point of moving multiple waypoints. That would cause all the geographic coordinates to shift at the same time, which would result in an uncontrolled track.

Just a copy/paste sample

Copying multiple waypoints to use them in a new route makes more sense.

I think group delete will be fine.
Moving will indeed be not possible.

It’s not about moving them physically, it’s about moving them in order in the list of routepoints. Have you guys even read the thread properly? Change them from 59-84 to let’s say 20-45 in a single go.

@Yannick_van_Vugt Yes I have but want you want is not possible at all

It shouldn't be too difficult? We can do it now, one-by-one (but it is slow and can be confusing, and MRA recalculates for each waypoint), I'd just like to work on several adjacent points at the same time.

Simple example of the request (hoping the image uploads OK): I want to do waypoints 6-7-8-9 before 2-3-4-5. Secondly, I'd like to reverse 6-7-8-9 (only) without changing the rest of the route.
Reason: I do some routes twice a year, wonderful roads, I like to vary the sequence / direction to keep it interesting

@Marinus-van-Deudekom Currently it isn't, that's why I brought it on as a suggestion. Right?
Other see the value of my request, I understand you don't, but if it ain't valuable to you, or you don't use the tool in a certain way, doesn't mean it's not for someone else.

@Brian-McG Yes, possible, but that shouldn't be needed and is devious work. It also floods the database and back-end with splits and merges, that will later be deleted. This feature is will prevent that as well.

Its not that I dont want to use such a tool. I just think that its just impossible

@yannick_van_vugt , even in the translation, your suggestion isn't 100% clear; it's only after David's explanation that things become clear. (lost in translation)
Now I understand the suggestion. You kept talking about moving multiple waypoints. I always thought you were referring to the map.
Saying “moving within the ‘Waypoint List’” would have helped me understand it right away.
If, perhaps, there’s a feature in the future to delete or copy multiple waypoints, it should also be possible to move multiple waypoints (within the waypoint list). I vote for this.
