Can a POI be used as a waypoint for routes?

[Aleksander H]

I’m using the Suunto app to plan a geocaching trip in the woods. I added a bunch of geocaches as POI in the app. Now that I have a fair number on the map I’ve started planning a route. Ideally, I’d want to get a notification on my S7 as I approach one of these caches, but this is where I’m strugling. Is there no way to use an existing POI as a waypoint for a route?

@Aleksander-H you need in a way to re-create it… But I think the best would be for this to happen automatically

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Am I wrong or there are notifications while approaching a poi when using routes in exercise or navigation ?

Would definatley be nice if this was automatic. I added all the geocaches as POI as this made it much easier to plan the route. Having to then add these again as waypoints is a bit of a pain. Being able to simply click a POI and then select “add as waypoint” would be very nice!

@sartoric nope no notifs. Because you can have many pois

@Aleksander-H yup I agree

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Not to make trouble or be in any way demanding but “having many POIs” goes very well with “Toggle proximity notification” sauce and a side order of “Set proximity notification distance”. If you’re in the mood for that sort of dish.
