Editing Waypoints Workflow
Not sure what happened but when they made changes to have Bulk Editing of waypoints not work, they broke the workflow for editing waypoints.
You used to be able to efficiently edit waypoints in bulk. The process made sense and let you navigate back a level in the folder hierarchy. Now, you cannot bulk edit but only edit one way point, then when you are done, you cannot just go back to the folder with the waypoint data. You have to go all the way back to the highest folder hierarchy. This is silly and really basic stuff.
Not sure what is going on but as a Premium user for many years I hope this stuff gets fixed before more "features" are added because I am really frustrated. This whole merger with Outdoors has made Gaia go backwards, not forwards, in its effectiveness. I may have to re-evaluate my next 5 year subscription.

i always wanted bulk editing of waypoints on the web map, never knew they actually implemented it for a brief period. i too am frustrated with gaia's changes in 2022. seems like all they care about is 3d maps and android auto / car play. seriously who cares about that? thought this was a hiking app.
assuming they haven't broken/changed this recently. what i do to bulk edit waypoints is put everything i want to edit in one folder, download the geojson for entire folder, open geojson in a text editor (i like notepad++ with json viewer plugin), edit the text (e.g. find and replace all icons with another type or color, you will have to experiment with this some to get the right syntax), reupload edited geojson, delete old folder.
