I think I understand the intention to preserve critical points when reducing a track but I have no idea how to realize it. For me, the Douglas-Peucker Algorithm works fine to reduce a track and afterwards I'm adding waypoints which I want to visit if they're missing.

I'm not asking for any kind of automation. I'm happy with the current tools for decimating a track into a route. Having the original route visible on the background would make it much easier to manually add points at certain critical locations to make sure that the decimated route matches the original track. Deviations are easily spotted if two different colored lines diverge.

You could use different position lists for this. Add the option to duplicate a position list. And add for each position list the check box option "show on map". Then you could start decimating one position list and keep the original position list visible as the reference.
