> [@Kurviger 1.13.16 (Beta)](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/kurviger-1-13-16-beta/2855/87): > > Long press menu on waypoints works if enable the “Settings | Map | Crosshair placement”. When [crosshair feature](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/crosshair-placement/1237) is disabled, can long press + drag the waypoints, but then lose their menu. Is dragging waypoints still useful to anyone & we should keep that option? As drag via touch on mobile cannot be precise as with mouse on desktop. ---

> [@devemux86](#): > > Is dragging waypoints still useful to anyone & we should keep that option? Yes absolutely. I like this feature. It was the reason why I disabled crosshair. But I normally don’t want to resign neither the drag&drop wp feature nor the new renaming feature via context menu ---

Yes, I use the drag - crosshair - drop feature a lot. - Yes it is important to be precise No. I do not use long press - move option - Because it is very difficult to be precise - And I cannot zoom in and zoom out easily - Nor can I move the map to the next position to put the waypoint on it. No, I don’t think we should have that option. Peace. ---

I use cross-hair mode since its introduction. At the beginning I was a bit unsure, whether I like it more than the _old_ “long-press drag” version. But once I got used to cross-hair mode, I never thought of switching back. Yes, cross-hair mode needs one tap more to place a waypoint, but at the end it is superior. - You can precisely place your waypoint - You can zoom in and zoom out easily before dropping the waypoint on its place. - You can move the map to the next position to put the waypoint on it. - You can remove your finger from the display before dropping a waypoint. You don’t need to keep your finger constantly on the display. ---

In the next version, crosshair placement will be the preferred and only way to handle waypoints. Maintaining 2 workflows for same thing is pointless and the less precise function is deprecated.
