Map Destination Setting Problem

Hi,

The map manual destination setting problem was still noticeable pre-Rubicon but I think it got worse.

Setting waypoints then a destination may or may not alter part or all the original waypoints to new settings; manual waypoints shouldnt be altered.

Making manual waypoints should be firm and unchangeable; as in locked in stone; now I dont know about adding them in-between; I can add waypoints all over the place which is nice then I can sort later; it is in making a destination at the end that causes a problem (IE making a final destination off the map; or off a player waypoint (not confirmed yet) - there is a greater possibility of prior waypoints alteration if a destination is set afterwards from other sources besides the map.

Workaround: DONT set destinations !

I am getting into the habit of just setting waypoints or adding them from other sources; I have to recheck this. I think that on movement, a previous 'destination set' would come into play on movement, thus altering the manual waypoints originally set.

On movement back to manually set waypoint(s) the original manually set waypoint path will re-appear; a good thing it seems; again a workaround may be to -NOT- set any destinations.
