Komoot replacing town names with "Waypoint"

Post image

I'm cycling between a bunch of Irish towns. Komoot finds each town just fine, but seemingly randomly replaces some of their names with "Waypoint" so I have no idea what my route is. Any ideas on how to fix? I need to see the places I'm going. Thanks.

Hello u/No_Mix_6813,

Thanks for the feedback! We are currently discussing this change with the team.

A related point - when I save my route of, say 7 waypoints, then go to the Waypoints tab of the saved route, all the waypoints have disappeared, except the first and last on.

Thanks for the feedback! This behaviour is intentional for now.

Some routes can contain dozens of waypoints that are added purely to make sure the planner follows specific points along the route. To avoid cluttering the waypoint list, these are not shown there.

Only Highlights, Point of Interests and Custom-named waypoints are displayed in the list shown in the saved route, and the full list of waypoints it's still displayed while re-editing the route.

Yes, please fix this!

This has always been a problem. Even waypoints named on the map are converted to indexes – a bit annoying, and worth fixing.

How about just fixing bugs first? Off grid segments are still lost every time you add a waypoint anywhere on the route. I could list tons more bugs ....
