Edit a segment of a route like Google Maps

    Sometimes I want to edit just a small section of a route that I have planned. To do this now I have to remove the past points and then re-map and re-do the end/finish. It would be awesome if I could edit only a small segment of part of a route like on Google Maps. Google Maps has that little bubble/circle thing that lets you drag the route to a different road/path/whatever without having to redo the entire thing. I use gmap-pedometer to plan group rides and we try to keep the rides within a certain mileage distance and having to continually re-do the route in it's current sequential method of adding points causes a lot of re-work to try out a couple minor changes to a route.

    Otherwise, we love it! Thanks for providing this free service!

    Yes, this would be great - to be able to amend a route by dragging a section in the middle to follow a different set of streets/paths. (Google maps allows this when figuring out drive routes - so presumably the capability is possible.)

    I would love this. I hate making an epic whatever-km-long route and seeing something I screwed up at the 200-metre mark, knowing the choices are just to leave it in or to do hundreds of carefully-done points over again. gmap-pedometer would be so much better with a feature like this.

    +1 for this idea. Would be a great feature to save a lot of re-work on long routes and make the site even better!

    This feature would make my life so much easier. I'm trying to compare routes with slight modifications.

    Would be great to have this!

    I just found out that I am now able to edit the route by clicking on it again. Thanks very much for implementing this! :-)

    Agreed, editable points please.+

    Here's a video showing how to use it. The video uses the old layout, but the feature works the same way:
