<p dir="auto"><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/bertm" aria-label="Profile: BertM">@<bdi>BertM</bdi></a> Sorry, I phrased this misleadingly, as I now realize. I meant: Have the website support the creation/manipulation of custom POIs (as described) plus have the MRA smartphone app support routes that have these accordingly in the way I also described.</p>

<p dir="auto">I understand what you mean, but implementing would not be easy.<br />
If you make your own POI you can do that. ( but the zoomlevel will be limited in MRA as I also noticed)<br />
Calculating between routepoints can be done in MRA.<br />
As MRA is a turn by turn navigation program it is not the most suitable one for Rallies I think.</p>

When planning out bonus locations for a rally route, I need to be able to see POIs.   Peha's point would make it even better!  I'd love to put details into the POIs (point value, hours of availability, etc) and then when planning my route be able to click on the POI and add/remove it from my route to see the time impact.</p>

These metadata should show up once a custom POI is tapped, and there should be a bottom to "navigate to here". So, basically, a custom POI would GUI-wise behave a lot like a shaping point, yet would not be connected to/part of the route unless the user opts to actually go there. The use case I have in mind here is curating a collection of good restaurants close to a via point (say, the hotel) whilest planning, so that there are several options readily available when traveling - but choosing to ignore (some or all of) them doesn't interfere with the planned route.</p>

Garmin has the GPI format for this, it would mean you have to program something like that and implement it in the program. Looks like a lot of work and I believe no one has reversed enginered that format yet succesfully.</p>

I want to see the POIs when zoomed out further so that I can see all the POIs on the map at one time.</p>
<p dir="auto">Right now, they disappear when you zoom out.  There's no way to see all the POIs at once (and that is just a Texas Rally - in something like the IBR you'd want to see the entire nation's POIs at the same time).</p>

<p dir="auto">Currently your own POI files are visible at a 5 mile zoom range. So I do understand your request to see POIs and a lesser zoom level.</p>
