Please add the ability to delete a waypoint from the loaded route when clicking it in the map. Either by adding a button on the left side info panel that shows _add to route_ and _user waypoint_ buttons, or with a dialogue box pop up on the map. Optionally, in the top route bar, please snap to and highlight the current selected point so that it’s easy to quickly find the selected point and remove it. This would be extremely handy when using Charts as a flight planning tool to avoid having to go hunt-and-peck for the relevant point in a long route, especially when it’s a coordinate amongst many coordinates. Thanks ---

Hi! I think something like this could be great, just wanted to share a workaround in the meantime! If you are using the web or desktop app, simply press and hold on any of the points in your route (on the map). You will enter “drag-and-drop” mode, and if you drag the waypoint on top of one of the others in the route, it should disappear! I hope that helps slightly at least! Kind Regards, Malte ---

Indeed it does, a good substitute for now. Thanks! ---

Great suggestion, is there a way to remove custom made waypoints? ---

Hi…, If you mean delete user waypoints, you use the edit key and select on User Waypoints in left column of Charts. Cheers Ian ---

If i click on the waypoint in the left i only get the options to type a new text, to cancel or to update? Every waypoint i create stays on the map forever. Thx for your help and time. ---

If you use the edit button I mentioned and then select the Use Define WPT, you should be able to delete one or all. Cheers Ian ---

Hi Ian, I am sorry for my persistence but i use the edit button you mentioned but i do not get the option “Use Define WPT” or the option to delete. Once you create a User waypoint it stays indefinite on the map and you can only rename it. ---

Hello! You can delete user-defined waypoints from the “User WPTs” menu in the left navigation bar. When you have that menu open, just press “Edit” and you will have the option to delete waypoints. ![chrome_xENoMf9YuT](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/2/c/2c9737bcb0e860fc2dc083c015867701bdc5cae2.gif) Kind Regards, Malte ---

Hi Skysail, Thank you so much for this. I was always trying to do this by clicking the edit button next to the name of the waypoint. The pencil symbol. Thx for your instructive vid. How did i miss this?! Heads up too Ian also. Thx again. Keep the blue side up. Manu Verzonden vanaf mijn Galaxy -------- Oorspronkelijk bericht -------- ---
