Suggestion: Route Auto Name
-
Hi
Would it be possible to auto create a route name when creating a new route?
For example, I create a new route from 'Home' (POI) to a destination such as Elan Valley Visitors Center (one of my fave places) so the first and last Waypoints are named 'Home' and 'Elan Valley Visitors Center' - could these Waypoints be used to create a suggested route name '1 Home to Elan Valley Visitors Center' that can be changed if needed.

Fun suggestion!

I thought the name was assigned before any waypoints are added to the route ... so how would this work?

@RetiredWingMan I should think as soon as two points are made a name?

If you want to refine it, we often name routes using approximate direction and distance too, which may help identify routes that don't start or stop in 'obvious' places. Example:
Home -> Elan 340Km NW(Even circular routes often have a vague direction bias - as in they're not perfect circles.)
As an aside from auto-naming, it's also a good way to exclude routes with a quick glance (I don't want to do more than 300Km today - what routes can I choose from?).
