We've now added Keyboard Shortcuts that you can use for fine control over the location of the position marker when adding or relocating directions in the route planner (Shift+← and Shift+→). Thanks again for the suggestion.

Good idea Willy, thanks for this suggestion.

To say: By ctrl < > (= free) ( < > and shift < > and up down arrow is already reserved for moving the map)

Allow very precise exact positioning of the playback glider by extra Slow forward and Slow backward button ?
Or without redesigning website graphics: By a slow fine positioning move action by keyboard < > buttons ?

Thanks for that suggestion Michael. The edit marker snaps to the closest point on the route when you drag it, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to confine it to one section of the route. I understand the issue though - we'll keep thinking about ways to improve it.

I tried using the Playback Slider as suggested. I got the marker to the area where I wanted to place directions. It's hard to accurately place using the slider so I grabbed the edit handle to place the directions where I wanted them (on the return of an out and back segment). When I grabbed the edit handle it jumped to the out portion of the segment. It would be better if the handle would stay in proximity to where it was placed using the Playback Slider.

Heb je een mogelijks een gpx route gebruikt ? Niet doen dus.
Ik heb zelf geen 820 maar de instructies voor gebruik met Edge's vind je hier.

Als ik een route naar mijn Garmin edge 820 download dan krijg ik minder km dan uitgetekend en een rechte lijn als richtpunt.De lijn volgt dus niet de wegen maar een rechte lijn van punt naar punt. Wat doe ik verkeerd? Heb ik iets slecht ingesteld bij het downloaden?

Use test report. (I suppose other users do add a comment too)
By the distance selector. (I expect a slow forward/return button later).
A. Complex circuit.
Method by distance tool allows free positioned fast creation of extra instructions_info by "Arrows or Symbol" selection even at overlapping trackpaths.
A nice tool best suited for complex (offroad) circuits as well known in MTB (trails).
Notice what I observed in edits by the "free position" select method:
B. Standard circuits.
For standard "civilan" use (+90%) I positioned custom messages mostly on top of already existing trackpoints, so keep a most compact track.
By free position, even when beeing VERY precise, an extra new trackpoint is created, as the selector resolution is not synchronised with existing trkpt resolution.
IMO (if possible) an existing nearest trackpoint should have a small 'sticky' distance zone on top of wich the instruction is mounted.
Anyway is it worth the technical effort, as it's only polishing the final result ? This is not causing practical navigation problems in the field.
Q: Other opinions ? Suggestions ? Sticky trkpt distance (resolution) ?
Volonteers: You can have a simple test.- The original file: https://www.plotaroute.com/map/1087832
Has 52 trkpt. Inclusive Straight command at 0.624 km distance.
- The test file: https://www.plotaroute.com/map/1037884
Has 52 trkpt. No Straight at 0.624 km distance.
To do: Add instruction Straight at 0.624 km distance.
