Hi,  
I agree, as already mentioned here:

> Hi, yes, I know, and I wrote it: But to say it clear: I think, the solution of the app is much better: Entering a point using the search result automatically sets the waypoint name. I have some doubts if anybody wants to have the coordinates as name - but if you want to have the useful names, you save a lot of clicks. Regards Markus

I just did a few tries with the app: If I search an address in a city, the app copies the street name to waypoint name.

From my point of view this is a good compromise between given information and short waypoint name - I think usually there are not multiple addresses with same street name within one route.

I think Robins proposal is a good solution:
