Waypoint icon starting from POI
-
Hello,
when a POI is added to the map, it is displayed as a yellow drop icon. However, if the "Add as waypoint" option is selected, the icon is shown as the classic waypoint hand (via point) or shape point symbol placed on top of the yellow POI drop.
This graphical representation does not look very clean, and I also do not see the practical benefit of displaying both symbols at the same time.
Furthermore, if both "Show as POI" and "Add as waypoint" are enabled from the POI menu, the icon is displayed with three overlapping layers, making the map even more cluttered.
Since the POI has already been converted into a waypoint, would it be possible to display only the standard waypoint or shape point icon and remove the additional graphics?
This would make the map clearer and improve readability.


Thanks a lot

Hi Corrado, thanks for the clear screenshots! The yellow star pin isn't part of the waypoint: it's the pin of your Favourites list ("Preferiti importati"), which you have switched on to show on the planner map. When you add a favourite as a waypoint, the route gets its own waypoint pin, and the favourite stays where it is, because it's still saved. "Add as POI" puts a third pin there for the route's own POI. If you'd rather not see your favourites while planning, switch the list off in the map's Layers menu, and you'll see only the waypoints. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the feedback, Corjan.
I’ll try your suggestion as soon as possible.
One clarification: how does the navigation app represent the icons in these situations?
