For example in XCSoar to add a turnpoint to a task takes a minimum

of 10 screen taps, often many more.



Not true.



1. tap on waypoint

2. tap on next page

3. tap on "insert in task" or "append to task"



Can it possibly be any quicker?

Well, let me count. If it happens that I want to insert a turnpoint on the current leg, the sequence seems to be Click on TPSelect TP from listDetailsRight ArrowInsert in task. That is 5 clicks. If I want it to be inserted in the next leg, then in addition MenuTaskTurnpointsSelect TP from listUp/Down arrowCloseFly, for a total of at least 12. But perhaps there is an easier way?

Yes it can be quicker as is done in iGlide. A single tap and drag to insert, move, or remove a TP anywhere in the task. In boat navigation systems it has been done this way for many years, surprising that it has taken this long to make it into gliders.
