    Hi
    One of the few things I miss from Basecamp is being able to add Waypoints to a map without having a routes joining them together.
    Example, I've signed up to a nav challenge where there are about 50 places to visit scattered all over the UK, I'd like to add all of these places to a map and then work out the best way to route between them all using it as a visualtion tool.
    I don't think this can be done but thought I'd ask anyway.
    I have considered adding them as POI's but POI's only appear when at a low level zoom, I want to see then regardless of zoom level.

      @Rob-Kelley, Me too thinks POI is the way for this. It would indeed be handy to be able to have a toggle to switch POI to "always on", or make them permanent and independable of zoom factor. Especially for smaller collections that could be helpful.

      I am just an enthusiastic user, and hope you will be one too!

        I would love to have this one!
        Ideally, a switch/toggle/checkbox separate for each own POI library. Like the existing ones for show/hide "in this route" and "in all routes."

          Maybe a solution could be favorite custom 'Categories', I could add all the hotels for my trip as favorites under a custom category that I can create and then easily delete after the trip, keep them seperate to my regular faves.

            I still use Basecamp for this. I do a 26 point "photographic rally" round Ireland every summer and having the points visible at the full extent of the map of Ireland is very useful. Also I have a database of commonwealth war graves which is about 10,000 points. When stored as waypoints or POI's in basecamp supplementary information such as weblinks is retained whereas all the data for POI's in MRA is stripped out so you have the name and the geolocation information only.

              I have the same issue. You can add points as POIs, but the zoom level is not very useful for picking points.

              I do several scavenger hunt rallies every year where we are given ~150 locations and need to find an optimal route to make it to a final location on time with maximum points. I've been using Google MyMaps for this task. Mike Brookes has a Youtube video tutorial for MyMaps which is pretty good.

                A small work around is to set the line transparency to 100%, the route is still there but you can't see it.
