Remove Single Waypoint from Registry?

[Lenny Rat]

Is there a way to do it? The only button is "Reset Waypoints" and it trashes all of them.

You have a little triangle at the right of the reg entry, click it, it will go away and the waypoint will not be shown.

[Lenny Rat]

Understand that. However, I have a lot of waypoints in there that were set as location markers that I just want to delete.

I am looking for a way to remove or delete, not turn off from the HUD.

on the planet map click the pin icon above planet info. There you can select from the list of markers and click the trash icon at the bottom.

In the registry you can click on the reg entry and then click on the waypoint button.

The waypoint button doesn't just set the waypoint - it toggles them on/off.

Thanks all...I'll ask the question again;

Is there a way to remove a single player-created waypoint from the registry?

It appears that the answer is no.

select the name that has the waypoint, and hit the waypoint button again it will remove it.

One more time - try this: set a waypoint by clicking the waypoint button. Now click on the waypoint button again. The waypoint is removed because the button acts as a toggle and not just as an on switch.

[Lenny Rat]

One more time...but the entry in the registry remains.

It may very well do but it will no longer be a waypoint.

Clearly you do not understand the question. Thanks anyway.

Can't picture how you created waypoints that are not able to be disabled from the Registry, any i placed there i simply removed from the registry by clicking the button again. Never really used that though, i've always just dropped a map marker so i can give it a custom name, show or hide it on HUD or add the "remove on approach" option. Can easily delete those markers from the map view. The registry seems designed more for showing what you own where (perhaps even on other planets) than easily setting and removing waypoints. Maybe it's just an incomplete feature.

Oh ok, I'm guessing now that you were on the surface of a planet (and not in space) and have right clicked the map to set a location marker and checked the waypoint box. Right so far?

If you are still on the same planet you can simply right click your location marker and click on the remove button which will delete both the location marker and the waypoint. This has always been problematic for me as half the time the game tries to set a new location marker.

The other thing you can do is what Asalleer suggested - open the planetary map and in the top right hand corner are two buttons. One opens the planet info on the right and the other opens the map markers. So open the map markers, find the location marker in the list, click on it so that it is highlighted and then click on the trash icon at the bottom. Again this will remove both the waypoint and the location marker from the registry.

Afaik you can use the registry to remove waypoints but not location markers.

If this still does not help you will need to be way more explicit about the problem you have.

so to answer the question, no you can not remove them well you are in the registry. Also "reset waypoints" removes all the visible marks from the hud, not deleting the points them selves. To remove them you have to go through the map screen.

This has been my experience and thanks for confirming yours is the same.

For those of you that do not understand the question fully but have been trying to help, I will describe my scenario. It may be that there is a better solution.

The system map shows warp paths as you explore, but I have not found a way to simply remove some of the lines if I find a better route (less jumps between systems), I therefore place waypoints in space near the suns that I jump to, kind of a galactic breadcrumb, if you will, to track my current path. But I then end up with lots of waypoints in systems far behind me that I want to get rid of, and I don't feel like flying all over the universe just to use the map function to remove them.

I haven't yet found a really good way of navigating different paths through systems that can be documented well (it's a big universe out there).

Removing and/or editing waypoints on the maps, in general, feels very clunky to me.

Sometimes I add waypoints (on planet POIs) and they appear at a completely different POI kilometers away?

Not a huge fan of the 3D space map either. Can't rotate your ship while in map view for correct orientation, and the HUD proximity mini-map has no drop lines on contacts for XYZ space elevation.
