How to delete or reorder Guidepoint?

Question

If you click on the map you have the option to add a point as a Guidepoint or a Waypoint.  Waypoints show up in the list of waypoints and the table, and can be reordered or deleted.  If I create a Guidepoint, I see the route modified on the map, but I'm not seeing any way to later delete the point or reorder it.  What am I missing?

When you go back to planning you can reorder them by long clicking the handle or remove them by clicking the 'x'.

That works today.  The problem I had yesterday was the Guidepoints were not showing up in planning.  They were affecting the route as shown on the map, but not in planning.  

Is there a way to convert Waypoints to Guidepoints?  If not, please consider a way to convert between these two point types as a feature request.

Hi @khorton,

Guidepoints should always show up in the list in planning mode (where you can re-order and delete waypoints) but they will lack the cogwheel, this only real waypoints have. However they won't show up in the finished plan or on the map.  Were they really not visible to you in planning mode?

I've had your feature request noted.

Correct - on my first attempt to use guidepoints, they did not show up in planning.  They have worked as expected on subsequent days, so it may have been some strange one time glitch, either on your end or with my browser.

@khorton ah alright! Sounds like a glitch, you didn't happen to update the app after this occurred or so? 

In any case, we'll keep an eye on this. Should it reoccur, please report.

I was accessing ABRP via the Safari web browser on MacOS 11.4.

I agree with this request. I plan road trips with specific roads to take (Fall Folliage route north east USA). I first plot in google as it is easy to drag the route, then copy the GPS coordinates into ABRP planning. I can enter only waypoints this way, not sure if I can create a guidepoint using GPS coordinates. Now I have about 20 stops on my map which show up during navigation when I only need one waypoint at a campground! Either, a way to convert waypoint to guidepoint and the other way around or add another button just like 'Add Waypoint' for a guidepoint and we can enter the GPS coordinates would be great.

Another request is that there is no way to see which waypoint on the map  belongs to which waypoint in the planning table, especially when there are 20 of them! I also map the same route in RV Parky to get all the campgrounds. This app does label the planning stops with the stops on the map so it is easy to insert a guidepoint where I want, or delete the one I do not need!

I mostly stop at campgrounds, Flying J/Pilot or Loves truck stops for an overnighter, which RV Parky gives and ABRP gives me the most efficient charging stops!
