POI to viapoint conversion

[Corrado Miniati]

Hi,
Thank you for implementing this feature.
Standard practice for waypoints allows for individual customization; the conversion of Points of Interest (POIs) into "waypoints" follows the same logic.
Since POIs are, by definition, places of interest where one typically plans to stop, I believe that:

1- If we add POIs to the map and wish to convert them into "via points" for navigation purposes, we would generally want to do so for all the POIs, or at least for a selected group of them.

2- For this reason, it would be useful to be able to perform the conversion from POIs to "via points" using a single command, after selecting the desired POIs (or all existing POIs).

3- Many users employ a hand-shaped icon in a specific color to identify stops at attractions; POIs always represent this type of stop. Therefore, in the case of a bulk conversion, it would be helpful to be able to assign the same icon color to all the converted POIs in a single operation.

4- A thought: a "via point" created by converting a POI is not conceptually identical to a "via point" added manually to the map during route planning, as it originates from a dedicated list of POIs.
Would it be appropriate to introduce a specific default icon for "via points" generated from POI conversions?
Users could still customize the icon later, if they wish.

P.S.: Instead of labeling the button "Convert to waypoint," it might be more intuitive to call it "Convert to via point," given that the conversion always results in the hand-shaped icon characteristic of "via points."

Thanks
