    This is amazing.

    It's basically exactly what I wanted. Thank you.

    In that case, my only feedback is that the feature is a bit hidden not being in the tool box, as I'd been looking for a while.

    But otherwise, excellent job.

    Setting the start time for your journey is also just great. Clearly made by people who understand hiking.

    Hi Matthew - I'm pleased to say we already have this feature. Take a look at our announcement about Rest Stops for further information.

    Hi

    So a big part of building a safe itinerary for hiking, but also other activities is adding breaks to your itinerary.

    I would like the feature to: "Add break marker" or "Add rest point". You would click to drop a rest pin on your route, and add how long the rest will be in mins.

    These are then included in the calculation on route time. To show how long your route will actually take.

    1. This will provide more acurate time estimate.

    2. It makes your plan better which is safer because: If you require rescue for example, rescue teams will try to estimate where you probably are, or got to. So the aim of a good itenerary is to give them a clue based on timings. If your breaks are not factored in, you will be way off the estimate.

    I would think its a pretty lightweight feature to add, that should help everyone.
