Hello, the Strava map editor is getting better and better. Good work!
Still one thing that grinds my gears. Can you please add the possibility to use the "Manual mode", (ie. no routing) in-between waypoints?
As it is now the feature it only seems to work on the last waypoint (or am I doing it wrong?) .
This makes it impossible to edit routes where there are no routeble tracks (eg using the heatmap as a source for the way).
Now I have to either redraw the entire route from scratch or export gpx, upload and use another service, and then upload to strava again. Very tiresome.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey @knixen! Thank you so much for writing in about this. We've been working on a fix for exactly the issue you point out and it recently went live. If you right click (or double click on Mac) you should be able to convert the waypoint to Manual Mode, even if it's in the middle of your route. This will convert the entire leg to manual mode. Try this out and let me know if it allows you to easily do the routing job you'd like to do!
If it doesn't, let us know what would help you get the job done! Thanks again for taking the time to write in with the question. We're excited to help make this product better for you!

Thanks, I have tested it and it works as expected!
Very good work! Makes Strava the number one map editor number 😀
