Trip Planner request/question

The slider that moves the red point along your route allowing you to search from the point on the route is very useful, thanks for the addition. if I click on a find the route is recalculated to include the new point and if I delete the new waypoint, the route is recalculated, the waypoint is removed for trip planner route and the normal but is left in my collection. It would be nice if I could right click a trip planner waypoint an remove from My Collection.

Thanks for the search along route feature, is there an option to change the distance from route to determine a hit? What is the distance being used now?

Thanks

The easy/automatic cleanup of leftover data used during trip planning is on our to do list.

I'm fairly sure that the search along route radius is 5km. Currently there is no way to adjust this, but we'll look into adding it. One not-totally-obvious caveat to search along route is that Yelp search doesn't work in that mode. Yelp's interface doesn't support it and we don't want to hammer their servers unnecessarily.

Trip data "cleanup" will be most welcomed as would Route editing on the map via drag-route to new road.

Especially as it's available in the PC version.

I know there are plans for route editing improvements in Trip Planner (TP). My number one request, in addition to searching along route, a popup list of waypoints from my collection arranged by folders and lists allowing me to select a waypoint to be added to the TP day. I like the traditional route TP list created for each day. When I right click a waypoint or the day of a TP trip, It would be nice to be taken directly to the TP traditional list. Currently I have to exit and find the day in the list.

Currently dragging a waypoint moves the waypoints from day to day. Is there a way to copy and paste waypoints or drag copy.

Thanks BaseCamp the best. I keep finding more neat stuff. Get info from TP brings the tradition Waypoint Dialog Box. You can add a single waypoint to a nothing planned TP day. The day not prints in the Itinerary and you can add urls, note, etc. for the TP day.

You can click on a waypoint in a day and use Edit->Copy, or command-c. Then click the day you want to paste it into and use Edit->Paste or command-v.

Thanks, I thought I had tried the copy command but I must not have, It works as you stated.

Having an all-waypoints "details" window and have them sorted/grouped by "Reference" would be awesome.

I use a number of "Smart List's" to organize my data in various ways. I would like to be able to have one or more of those windows open and stay open AND THEN open the Trip Planner so I could easily use the data from the "sticky" windows.

As I think about it, a separate window for trip planner with MyCollection lists/folders always present to drag waypoints into trip planner would be very helpful. Currently I seem to be constantly exiting trip planner to view something in MyCollection.
