Would like too see Two new features

Both would be great features. 

It's very unlikely that Garmin will read it here. I suggest you submit it via their feature request form: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/

Garmin Explore can actually already add waypoints. It adds waypoints everywhere you tab while you plan a course and additionaly when you long press anywhere on the course while you edit it. Then you can modify the points (name and icon) via the '3 dot menu'. 

But i could not get the resulting waypoints to work properly on my Fenix 6x. They show up on the map, but there are no alarms when reaching a waypoint and the 'next waypoint' data field only shows the first waypoint and distance to the end of the course. But maybe you have more luck. 

Thanks ill definitely use the form!

From what i can tell yes you can add waypoints as in a single waypoint on a map (separate from any course file) then upload them to your watch. But you cannot add a waypoint as part of a course ( eg in the course file that is uploaded to the watch). That's why i think the Fenix 6 doesn't show the distance until the next waypoint. With the connect app you add waypoints onto the actual course and is saved with the course data (course and waypoint position in one file). Although i haven't tried it personally yet I believe the next waypoint feature will work much better with the waypoint being part of the actual course.

I am sure the points are part of the course, because i only moved this one single course to my synced collection (and no individual waypoints) and they show up on the map on the watch. They just do not behave as real waypoints (as described above) for some reason. 

Yesterday I also wrote to Garmin support what could be wrong. Let's see if they can shed some light on it.

So what I found (and this is for my instinct 2) is when creating courses with waypoints in garmin connect they do show up as I approach that point. It will say Point of interest in 300 ft and count down distance until I arrive at this point. Again, this is only with connect. With Garmin explorer i cannot add points to a course as far as I'm aware. But I did find another option. If you had waypoints individually through garmin explorer you can set alerts for the activity that will alert when you approach these points. 

Thanks for sharing. I thought that I had tried that already. But I will give it another try. Maybe I did something wrong. How is the setting called on your instinct that alerts you on upcoming waypoints?
