Feature Request: Parity for Favorites – Folders for organization
-
The Request
I am requesting that MyRoute-app implement a hierarchical folder structure for "Favorites" that mirrors the existing organizational system used for Routes and Tracks.The Logic: Consistency is Key
Currently, MyRoute-app has a professional and highly effective folder system in the Route Lab for managing my Routes and Tracks. I can create folders, sub-folders, and easily drag-and-drop files to keep my planning organized.However, my Favorites remain a single, unorganized "flat list." This inconsistency is a major bottleneck in my workflow. If I can organize a 10-day trip into folders by region or date, I should be able to organize my saved waypoints with that same level of precision.
The Problem: The "Junk Drawer" Effect
As a rider, my Favorites list has become a cluttered mess. Because I cannot categorize them, my list is a mix of home addresses, emergency fuel stops, and "maybe" scenic points.Impromptu Navigation is impossible: When I am on the side of the road and want to find a nearby "BBQ Joint" or "Campsite" I’ve saved, I have to scroll through an alphabetized list of everything I own.
Map Clutter: Without folders, I can't "toggle off" categories of pins. I see everything at once, which makes the map difficult to read during active riding.
Proposed Functionality (Mirroring Routes/Tracks)
Full Folder Parity: Give Favorites the same "New Folder" and "Move to Folder" capabilities that currently exist for Routes.Organizational Sorting: I want to create folders for "BBQ Joints," "Camping Spots," "Twisties," and "Regional Points."
Tier 2 - Visual Toggling: Just as I can choose which routes to display, I want to toggle a Favorite Folder "ON" to see those pins on the map, and "OFF" when they aren't relevant to my current ride.
Tier 3 - Proximity Sorting: When I open a folder in the mobile app, the waypoints inside should be sorted by how close they are to my current position.
The Bottom Line
Favorites should not be a static list; I want them to be a dynamic library. By giving Favorites the same folder structure as the rest of the app, MRA will become a much more powerful tool for spontaneous, real-world riding. It's a fantastic but is currently designed for Type A planners that want to plan every last aspect of a ride. That is not the majority of users. -

of this forum and search for favourites (the correct spelling 
) or favorites you will see that this has been asked for on many occasions. The developers are fully aware that the system we have now for handling favourites requires improving but that is not as easy as it may seem as it needs to work with both the website and mobile app. With the current development work for website v2.0 I am sure that the development team will have this in mind.
