Hi,
I have updated the route finding tools considerably, updating the UI and
replacing the old route finder with my extended version. It behaves like
the route creator, except whenever you add a new route point, it automatically
finds a route to that new point. You can switch between adding route points
with the normal route creator tool, and with the route finding tool.
If you guys like it, can it be merged into the main branch? (I'm not sure how
to do this, the wiki just tells me to have a public fork.)
It can be found here:

Best,
Matt
