A demo by the Kurviger app.
https://youtu.be/UgcEw2YSTus
Part 1: By the online GH engine.
Generates and supports U-turns.
Find and locate unexpected U-turns in the instruction list.
Remove trackglitch by removing the associated Planner Point.
Part 2: By the offline BRouter engine.
Does not generate U-turns. Locate trackglitches ONLY by map inspection.

Support the non directional U-turn command for improved more secure route plotting edit results.
A well known issue:
To avoid false turn generation (Left where expected a Right) issues, it is best to try to avoid clicking near junctions when you are plotting your route.
RWGPS detects clicks (too) near to junctions clicks and than adds a warning popup.
Q: Plotaroute's route engine is by GraphHopper ? Than:
So more comfortably detect such annoying navigation errors @ plotting and planning.
1. Not all near junction clicks are problemetic as it depends where you precisely had a click.
2. When a false turn command anyway occurs than find small 180° trackreturns (glitches) over the same path.
3. When the map is zoomed out such small tracktails are mostly unobserved and so not detected in the route planner map view.
3. The GH router on the other hand reports unexpected trackglitches by a non directional U turn command at 180° track returns.
4. Suspicious U-turn(-98) commands in the instruction list can so be usefull indicators and a warning for unexpected hidden plotting errors.

We'll have a think about how we can add an easy way of remove multiple anchor points in one go. I think it should be easy for us to add an option to remove all anchor points, but less easy to add a way of removing just some of the anchor points. I'm thinking that maybe we could add a right-click option on the anchor points that would remove any anchor points before the one you right-clicked on. This would then also provide a quick way to remove all of them.
For the Replot Section tool, the reason we ask you to select the end point of the section you want to replot before you start replotting it, is so that you can see how long the revised route would be as you plot the replacement section. This wouldn't be possible if you didn't select the end point of the replacement section until you'd finished plotting it.

Reshape Route
I am agree with Tom. First, I wanted to choose the beginning and the end and use the anchor already inside the section.
Replot Section
I would like to be able to click on the end point of the section to end the connection of the track

I know leaving them in place doesn't affect anything, but when you are trying to clean up an entire 50km+ route in small sections they make everything look really cluttered.

Thanks for the feedback.
Just so everyone knows, there is no need to delete any anchor points that you add when you've finished editing a section of the route, as these are only used by the Reshape Route tool, so they won't affect anything else - you can leave them in place.

Will also add my applause for the updates. Thank you for continuing to refine and upgrade!

Overall it seems that this is an improvement if you are plotting a route from scratch, but for editing existing long routes it's a bit frustrating in places.
I am trying to clean up a 50km GPX file, which was previously quite easy to do because you could just isolate a section of the route and drag bits of it to match the intended paths. Now you end up having to add loads of anchor points. In some situations this is quicker than before, and in others it's frustrating. I find that to clean up the route I have to add quite a lot of anchor points to ensure that dragging them gets the route on the correct paths, but I don't really want them to stick around permanently. Once I've done with a section all I want is an anchor point for the end of it to get on with the next section, which I won't want any more after that next section is done.
For this use case I would also like something like the old re-plot tool back under a different name. If you had it working using anchor points then any dragging could add a temporary anchor point for the duration of the tool, then when you click finish just leave the start and end points as permanent anchors. That would get rid of most of the click to place, drag what i just placed, click on lots of superfluous points stuff that I'm having to do now.
Some way of deleting all anchor points with one click would be very helpful too.
