Title: basic plotting & weather routing
#3
I often wish that something similar was available in MacENC. I think it is Nobeltec that has both single and multiple-point distance and bearing tools. I often measure series of distances to compare different routing options and it is a bit cumbersome command-clicking and mentally tallying the distances while trying to keep the cursor from straying away from the last measured point. It's never really occurred to me to have the points persist. The last time I used Nobeltec the values and lines disappeared when the mouse button was released, just like the distance tool in MacENC.

How about a tool that can draw multiple temporary routes with a result window that pops up for each temporary route? A really slick result window might even convert the temp route into a permanent route, sort of like you can make a route out of the track file. Then the best route would be already done, instead of all that laborious clicking and adding waypoints to re-enter it.
