Set start point in Oruxmaps

[emmeicsics]

I can't find a way to create a route by setting not only the end point but also the starting point.

There are occasions where I'm in a place but want to create a route that starts from a different place. And the GPS is off.

In Oruxmaps there are options to center the map in a certain point but the routing always starts from the last position when the gps was on.

Is there a way to set a starting point for a route?

Thank you

I received the answer from Hans Straßgütl through a private email because of some technical problem.

1. In Oruxmaps there is that red button at the bottom. Touch that.
2. A variety of blue buttons appear. Select the one to load a rout / waypoint
3. A Menue appears, select search (BRouter/Graphopper)
4. Now the Brouter Routenplaner Menue appears.
5. Move the map to where you want to start, tap on the screen or use the green (+) at the bottom
6. Move the map to your destination, tap the destinantion or once more the green (+)
7. Your route appears on the display

That is not exactly what I see in my Android version of Oruxmaps. In my case:

1. menu Track/Route tools (or tap on the track/Route icon on the top icons)
2. Search route
3. A box opens at the bottom of the map, there's a Data source select menu where I can choose between various routing services. And there are icons to add/remove/finalize wayponts. When you tap on finalize a route is drawn on the map.

I had tried that but it didn't work, probably I did something wrong.

This way it is not as straightforward as the long touch on the destination point method but it works.

Thank you
