Another thought (that might maybe better have a separate ticket) is to record waypoints of interesting locations upon the press of a key on a keyboard.
Feature request
When i’m recording a track, i’d like to store a location by pressing a button on my external keyboard.
I control Kurviger using buttons on my handlebar (see Handlebar buttons – JaxeADV). These buttons simply send a keystroke via a bluethooth keyboard profile from an arduino device.
When i’m driving, i sometimes like to store a location because of the view, the conditions, or something interesting happened there. When i’m not driving, i can go back to the gpx track, and match the waypoints i created with photo’s, or look at the map of that location.
It would be very helpful if i can store a waypoint on the recorded track for this, simply by sending a keystroke.
Describe the solution you’d like
Have Kurviger also listen for ‘X’. Once this key is pressed, store the location as a waypoint on the currently recorded track.
Describe alternatives you’ve considered
The alternative is stopping, taking your gloves off, longpress on my current location, add favorite. This doesn’t exactly do what i want because it saves a favorite, not a waypoint along the currently recorded gpx track.
If it’s (relatively) easy to store bookmarks, i would definitely use that.
To add waypoints to the recorded GPX track would ultimately be more beneficial in the sense that you can export the GPX and review the track including the annotated locations. This is just a thought.
