Is there a way to add intermediate control points on K2 in-device route editor?

Hi. I love the dashboard route creation tool and find the magic sauce invariably finds the best route for me, avoiding busy roads, being efficient, and accurate. I also find the ability to click on a route to make an intermediate additional waypoint helpful by adding the little white control points, and the ability to drag these to finesse the route to pick in a special place, alternate road etc.

On the K2 these control points all seem to be present when editing a route created on dashboard, and when clicked on they can be moved around. I cannot find a way of adding new waypoints on the K2 however, all that seems to happen is the route gets extended with a massive loop to the insertion point, which wasn't as intended. When editing a route on my iphone for instance its is "smart" and recognises if I am making an insertion on top of an existing route, and it adds an intermediate waypoint, or if i drop a pin in the middle of no-where it extends to there. This is a better behaviour.

This feature would be really helpful for in ride support so that a route can be extended, diverted etc from the K2 route editor. At the moment all I can do is hope that there is a control point nearby one I grab and alter from the original Dashboard creation

Bug: Deleted control/waypoints on the K2 editor hand around as a "ghost" while editing which is confusing. They disappear when you save out of the route.

Addendum; It appears you cannot edit a route at all whilst a ride is in progress; you can create a new route from scratch, but not edit an existing route. This is frustrating for the reasons above where on-the-fly alterations to a route would be invaluable.

Hi Justin, thank you once again for your improvement suggestions. The bug with the control point is an existing and known issue, but something that has been planned as part of another improvement on the Karoo 2 route editor.
