Multi-day route planning: stop duration at waypoints and custom waypoint names
-
Hello,
I use Mapy to plan multi-day hiking routes. My current route is 234 km, split into 11 daily stages of 18 to 30 km. Two things are missing for this kind of planning.
- Stop duration at waypoints.
The route is currently calculated as one continuous walk: 234.2 km in 51:51 h. In reality every waypoint is an overnight stop. A hiker walks 20 km, sleeps in a town, and continues the next morning. Since there is no way to enter a stop duration or a departure time for a waypoint, all arrival times after the first point are wrong, and the weather forecast along the route becomes useless: it shows the weather as if I were walking through the night without sleeping.
Please add the option to set a rest or overnight duration for each waypoint, or a fixed departure time for each segment, so that arrival times and the weather forecast follow the real schedule.
- Renaming waypoints.
All added points are displayed as "Point 2", "Position on the map", and so on. With 11 stages the list is unreadable and it is impossible to tell which point is which. Please allow editing the name of each point on the route, so I can label them Barcelos, Ponte de Lima, Rubiaes, Valenca, and so on.
Both features would make Mapy genuinely usable for pilgrimage and long-distance trekking planning.
Thank you.
