Description

After planning a route in the OsmAnd Web Map it's only possible to save a TRACK to OsmAnd Cloud. This means that while the track can be followed in the OsmAnd App, it can't really be edited as it contains thousands of waypoints. There's also no indication of intermediate waypoints..

It would be nice if the ROUTE could be saved instead, using rtept instead of wpt. This means it could be easily managed and tweaked in the App as well as showing the intermediate destinations.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the OsmAnd Web Map saves planned routes to OsmAnd Cloud, then compare the existing TRACK export with the requested ROUTE representation. Check where GPX waypoints are serialized and how saved items are consumed by the app. Done means a planned route is saved with rtept entries, remains editable, and shows intermediate destinations.
