non-streetbound routes?

[Andreas]

Is there any chance to "loose" routes from streets in the map view and show the simple direct line between the route points?

Hi Andreas,

look for the "Type:" chooser and select "Track" to get a simple beeline view.

Hi Christian,

thanks for your quick reply.
That works perfectly fine, but in that case, the points are stored as track points in the gpx file. In my understanding, track points are used for points of actually driven routes (= tracks) only, not for planned routes. Therefore, my tool today uses <rtept> for managing routes and <trkpt> for saving the effectivly driven track. But of course I can change that.

Aside from that, RC is the perfect tool for my purposes (and I've been searching a while now!), and especially the Java WebStart concept is quite fine.
I will keep on testing, then I probably will modify GPSMonitor in some details and recommend RC as a complementary tool for it to it's users.
