I played with Freeboard route building, and I have a couple of usability suggestions:
- Route drawing only supports incremental route building atm: you add waypoints until you arrive at your destination. I tend to build routes by adding a waypoint to the destination and then inserting intermediate waypoints. This is possible in Freeboard, but you first have to save the initial single-waypoint route and then edit it. I think the "draw route" and route editing could be integrated.
- Personally, I would like to see the waypoints on the routes - small dots on the nodes, perhaps?
- Waypoint deletion is done by control-clicking which is only possible on a computer. Maybe have a long press reveal an edit menu?
- As a stretch goal, it would be cool to have the route total length visible when editing.
