WPT Waypoint coordinates = centre of screen, not current location

[Pierre Pedes]

Hola a todos,

Oruxmaps has been my best and reliable companion on more than 10.000 km of hiking tours in the last 3 years. So thank you very much for this fantastic app!

But there's one detail that irritates me a lot:

Normally I use Oruxmaps with the cursor for the current location at the bottom of the screen, not in the center, so that I have a better preview of the route I want to follow.

When I insert a waypoint under these conditions - normally a photo WPT - the WPT gets the coordinates of the center of the screen ... and not of the current location.

What's the reason for this strange behaviour?

Why not store (and display) the coordinates of the real current location? For users having the current location centered on the screen it would give the same result as now.

I think there should at least be an option in the configuration to switch between these two alternatives in behaviour.

But perhaps it's possible to change the behaviour and I did not find the switch?

Thank you for your replies.

Best regards

Pierre Pedes
