How to delete favourites?

[Jeffrey Poulter]

Hi,
I have a favourites box a mile long. I can find noway of deleting those I no longer need. Anyone know how to delete a favourite waypoint?
Thanks, Jeff

@Jeffrey-Poulter

Tick on them and then on the trash can in the waypoint menu

[Nick Carthew]

@Jeffrey-Poulter Open a route (any route) select a favourite that you want to delete and then click the trash can to delete. Unfortunately they have to be deleted individually.

I see a good point for improvement here.
You can easily remove a POI from your own POI list by clicking on the cross in the list.
Not because it is necessarily much better. But the method for removal does become more unambiguous.

Thanks. chaps. So simple when you know how!

Odd, though, that 'How to delete favourite waypoint' produced zero response when entered into the help search box...

@Jeffrey-Poulter
Sorry @Jeffrey-Poulter but I can’t find that topic.

ok,
I have the same question as Jeffrey Poulter, I have favourites that I cannot delete, I have read all the answers to his question, but I have NO dustbin or X to delete the favourite, it is driving me crazy, evenyone says just click dustbin BUT I haven't got a dustbin to delete the favourite.

I am so frustrated it is crazy how I cannot delete

@Fusebox666 @Jeffrey-Poulter

You have to activate the Favourite to remove it.

You can delete them easily from the MyRoute-app.

Display the list of favourites
Click on the edit button for the one you want to delete
Click the red delete waste can button and then answer yes.

@Lynchy67 Hi
I haven't got any of that which you are showing on your map, all it ask's to make another favourite or rename it?

[Fusebox666]

@Doug-Robinson hi
I don't have any edit or delete, so I'm unable to do anything but live with the favourite: angry:

[Fusebox666]

ok, found it, open a new map, call it whatever you like, click the 3 horizontal bars at top, then all the info available is listed, including a favourites list which I can then delete any of my crap favourites.

I must admit this is not a particularly good user web friendly program, I would go as to say crap.
But it cost too much to not use

@Fusebox666, relax. Suggestions for improvement of favorite management have already been issued. Later this year the planner website will get an overhaul. But given your profile name a little bit of angry is probably in your nature

[Tom.Fox]

Any updates to this feature? I followed @fusebox666's directions dated Feb 15 2024 and they work, although it took me some time to find this thread. A favorites manager would be much easier.

@Tom.Fox, The current web planner is designed around the routing engine itself. Therefore some options are only available from within an open route. You do not need to create a new route to delete favorites, just open any route from your library (but not a track).

A completely new web planner platform is on the verge, you will most likely have seen that in your mailbox. In it things like favorites and POI have their own place in the main menu, and management of them has been greatly improved.
