Feature Request: Split Track and Erase Track Point Tool

This has probably been requested but I couldn't find it in searching.

I would very much like to see a couple of the old MapSource Tools available on the Tool Bar.

Track Split and Track Point Eraser.

I know these functions can be done using the Properties window and the Options menu there in but that's really tedious when you're trying to edit a lot of track abnormalities - which most GPS units produce when recording tracks logs.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

    Another great suggestion, and would be very useful.

    You can double-click a track point with the selector tool on the map to select it for deletion/splitting via the track properties dialog. You can delete track points once you've selected them by just hitting the delete key. Splitting tracks is a bit more of a chore as you need to click the track dialog's "gear" action menu to split the track at that specific point, but the track dialog automatically opens when you double-click on a track or track point.

    Given the benefits of minimizing the amount of stuff in the toolbar, I doubt we'll be adding more tools to make things like this take one less click.
