Would there be any possibility of including in RC the ability to edit positions by adding 'dot and arrow' type roadbook symbols (as almost universally used in motorcycle and car rallies)? I believe this would provide a hugely useful addition to route planning in Google Earth, by allowing users setting out a path in GE using 'Add Path' to click on locations where something significant such as a turn or landmark exists. When the saved .kmz file is then opened in RC, the position number could be edited to a roadbook symbol that graphically illustrates what action should be taken at that point ('turn left', 'go straight on, even though main road turns right', or 'turn right after bridge' etc etc etc). Libraries of such symbols are available, covering virtually any imaginable scenario. When the completed .gpx file is sent to a GPS as a track, it effectively becomes a route, with roadbook symbols telling the rider/driver what is coming up next. Be great to hear what you think, and whether other users think this would be useful.
