Example,
i´v recorded a track, one times i paused recording for a rest and forgot to start it again,
after late restart of trackrecording i was searching a geocache collecting needless trackpoints without pausing.
by the way see:
http://help.locusmap.eu/responses/paused-trackrecord
Now my task is:
1. delete needless trackpoints from track
2. close the gap on the track

1. deleting e.g. 30 trackpoints is awkward, a "cut option", or a "delete from/to" would be helpfull
2. The way to close the gap with "insert new point" is illogical! i begin editing on last point of first leg and the added point is connected to start point of second leg ::) see video

tricky but feasable.
You can use "split" function and then delete the splitted part with 30 points.
Close the gap by inserting a new route by brouter (or something else likein your video) with or without (!) routing. Then merge these tracks (don't leave gaps). Its fiddeling but the best you can do imho.
I always do so.

Hello Christian,

QuoteIts fiddeling but the best you can do imho
thats it!
My ulterior motive with this "question" is, to point on part inside locus which should be improved 8)
This feature is named "edit on map" but some functions inside this feature are not user friendly :-[

Schlingel! ;)
...not userfriendly....hmm.
It's a different kind of thinking. Not really a problem.
Fiddling because of thick fingers, zooming in and out, small displays.
