K Group: Forum Members Posts: 16, Visits: 1	Hi there, Sometimes I have to use a waypoint that is only known from its long/lat coordinates and not defined by a city, reporting point, airfield etc. (E.g. for the matter I just posted in the thread: intelligent level changes. In the pilotlog and the briefing pack these waypoint just appear with their coordinates and dont mean a thing when flying. Most of the times I only use these waypoints once, for a specific flight. E.g to avoid overflying gliderareas Is there an option when clicking on the waypoint (or in the pilot log) to quickly rename it. (E.g. avoid GLDRArea NW Münster or ALT change NW of MS). This renaming only needs to be saved for this particular flight. Benefit: it doesn clog up your favorite, and self created waypoints. Any thoughts? Kind regards, Patrick Attachments Screenshot_20210320-094707.jpg (545 views, 682.00 KB)

Incidentally, we are considering removing that window because it has been superseded by the PLOG for many years. Could you perhaps explain why you use it instead of the PLOG? I like the route plan window as it's sort-of interactive, gives a good overview of the route, and on the same screen as the map view - no need to switch to the PLOG. It is also "unformatted" so more intuitive to scan through. Can also adjust leg properties (eg. adj levels with reference to MSA) by double-click instead of scrolling through the map - unless there's a better way of editing legs that I'm missing. Final nitpicking comment is that the renamed turning point also doesn't appear on the leg properties dialog box. Renaming turning points was a big plus, so thanks for implementing.
