This is a request for frontend improvement: the "navigate any location" activity has a history of past locations entered. However, its use is currently rathing limited. In particular:
* the user can only delete a history waypoint or navigate using the compass.
* the user **cannot** navigate any other method, such as maps, et cetera. A long tap on a waypoint brings up only the option to delete.
* the user **cannot** recall a history waypoint.
My suggestion is to change the activity as follows:
* when the user taps on a history waypoint, its coordinates get transferred to the input field. No navigation is done yet.
* the user then may choose to edit the waypoint or navigate using the same methods as when entering a new waypoint.
* the existing "shortcut" of tapping on a history waypoint and navigating by compass should be removed as its use conflicts with easy recall, editing, and navigating by other means.
