well, adding a goto button to the waypoint list items unfortunatly isn't technically quite as easy as it sounds. also I'm not sure if this is such a good idea because an accidental click on the button will have larger consequences. unless there is a better idea proposed I'm not really keen on spending my time with this. I think that the way to get to the goto button is okay, if you think differently find a developer who agrees and improve the situation. remember that this is open source software and if you don't agree with a decision that the core developers make then you are free to use a personalised version that fixes your issues.
