[done] Routes and tracks more flexibility requested

Firstly to say I have recently got paid version of AQ on my nexus 7 tablet and the display is brilliant. I am impressed with the clarity of maps (using qct os maps) and am able to keep device on all day without using too much battery. Also very pleased to see that app is still being improved. My suggestions for development are as follows:Firstly it would be nice to see a really comprehensive online manual. There are a lot of features not covered by the online help and it would be good to see all the options and sub-options shown in a guide.
I have had a lot of trouble trying to locate files on the device and needed to use a file manager to find e.g. gpx file I had saved. What I would make a lot more use of if improved, is the creation of routes. Found it quite easy to create an accurate route with a set of waypoints, but not easy to amend. Would like facililty to move any waypoint to a different position, or to add or delete waypoints within or at ends of route. Would also like more info about route. At present not showing elevation data (is there something I need to do to get this?) - but if had this would be helpful to have summary of total ascent and descent info for whole route as well as length. I would be able to work out duration for walking a route (I can do all this with memory map main programme on main laptop). The ideal conclusion of this would be setting parameters for speed and additional duration for uphill/ downhill sections and app providing the duration for me!!! A lot to ask I am sure. Just one other thing I know that plans for updating map automatically, but would also be nice to have 2 maps on screen, especially when near to boundaries of map and where journey is passing back and forth between two (or more) map areas. Thanks once again
