I debated with myself for a long time before deciding to at least post the request - of course you're always free to reject it if it doesn't fit with whatever directions you want to take c.t.

The title says it all, really. But for clarification, I do NOT wish for this to go the "whole hog everything a huge interlocked database" like Garmin's Basecamp (shudder!) OK, it was kind'a cool the first few times a whole bunch of routes got recalculated because they all happened to share the waypoint that I just moved, but after a few hundred of them it gets old, VERY old!

So a way I envision this would be to make it possible to enter the name of one of my markers in the text-entry fields like "Where to?" or "Find" or in the "add via point" dialogue. Just to get the lat/long coordinates into the route, mind you, NOT any kind of db reference. Seeing the route go by the marker's symbol is absolutely perfect. If it is necessary to differentiate between "marker" and "stuff in OSM" then maybe some magic leading character as a tag? "@" seems popular for such things these days.
