There is a not-so-obvious way of creating an intermediate point without having to start over.
- Mark it with a long press - Press "Directions" and add it as a first or last intermediate destination. - From the directions menu, press the flag icon at the bottom (to the left of the gear). - From the "Options" menu, press "Sort door-to-door" In addition or alternatively, the Options menu allows you to manually rearrange the points, as well as reverse the route I could imagine setting a starting point and destination, then filling in with intermediate destinations until the proposed route goes where you want it to. Then saving the route as a GPX. Routing on a GPX created that way appears to give proper turn-by-turn directions, although,obviously, it also routes to each waypoint as well. Admittedly, if the goal is to do true turn-by-turn navigation using an externally created GPX while allowing for graceful detours from that GPX, this is a workaround.
