Ah yes, found the 'insert after/before' now. When I use insert afer/before it doesn't seem to add the route point to the list on the right and the route points don't appear with the pin, see: http://hob.so/YaYE
Is that me doing something wrong?
(Sorry, I noticed this last reply as quite old - please feel free to pm or email me if you want to know anything.)
The list on the right isn't a list of routepoints - it's a list of waypoints.
Basically the list on the right should mirror the elements that are direct children of the 'gpx' root node in the gpx file - i.e. only tracks, routes and waypoints.
Waypoints aren't the same as route points.
Insert after / Insert before inserts a routepoint to the route. It doesn't also create a waypoint.
The purple entries in the list on the right are your waypoints. Only they have purple entries in the list and pins. Routepoints just have a dot.
This is what I meant by:
Note also that once a route has been created from waypoints, the routepoints aren't then subsequently 'tied' to the waypoints. After the route is created, they will happen to have the same location, but you can drag one to a different location and it won't affect the other.
i.e. when you click 'create route from waypoints', it will
copy the waypoints into route points, but the two can then diverge. In the case you're seeing, the set of routepoints is diverging from the set of waypoints by having new ones added to it.
In linux speak it sounds like you're expecting "create route from waypoints" to do an "ln -s" whereas what it's in fact doing is "cp".
You don't even have to have
any waypoints to create a route - you can just create a route using routepoints if you like. The 'create from waypoints' is basically only for if you've already got waypoints, if you just want to create a route it's quicker to just do 'create route'. To be absolutely honest it's not something I use myself, I added it in because someone requested it.
I wouldn't have a waypoint for each instruction, I'd only use a waypoint for somewhere I'm visiting, say a train station/travelodge/cafe stop/control/pub etc
