Annoying Feature - Waypoint could be easily moved by accident

[marhensa]

I know it is a feature not a bug, from what I read on the manual.



But for me and my survey team, often we move the Waypoint by accident (by longpress then move Waypoint), that it makes our survey data gone wrong, because the coordinate position is wrongly moved.



Have we consider to make it better by one of these choices:

1) Confirm consent after moving a Waypoint

2) There's a edit button before we could move a Waypoint

3) Inside Waypoint description there's edit button to move it to new position.

4) An Undo button to undo the movement.



It is so important, especially when we use Oruxmaps for surveying places.



NB:

also the Overlay shapefile points could be easily moved by accident to, not just Waypoint.



Please consider this..  

Regards.

And i think that Osmand way of changing Wpts position (move the map instead of the point) is much more convenient.

I will study a new way for the next version.

Or just like Osmand, Maverick does the same thing,

the pointers / crosshair is always on the center of screen,

move the basemaps, and then tap add waypoint.



To edit position, we have to open waypoint description and click edit.

This becomes even more of an issue with gpx files with lists of waypoints that were compiled by others.



These often are not meant to be changed at all. For example, such lists exist for long-distance hikes where they indicate water sources, camp sites, emergency phones, and other really critical features. For such lists, I would really like to be able to set them read-only once for all, possibly except for some special fields (e.g. a comments).



Maybe there could be editable and read-only waypoints, and they could be displayed differently so that it also becomes visually clear what they are?



I got caught so many times by this "feature", and I am certain that I am not the only one...



Personally, I would be perfectly happy with a global option to disable any "interactive" waypoint movement. If I really want to do that, I could always enable it temporarity...  



Apart from that: thanks for this otherwise really great software!

YES, THIS IS CORRECT!
