I agree and I've complained about this behavior before. Many times when I'm making a route I just want to look at the properties of a way-point to see if it's the one I want. Just clicking on the way-point will cause BC to re-zoom and pan the map to put the way-point on the visible map. I wish it would just select the point and allowme to decide to "show on map". I can't remember if these was ever a response to my earlier comment on this behavior.
Thanks for your feedback and sorry about the annoyance.
I'll see what we can do.
