In "Show POIs long the route" option, allow user to delete the points in bulk #3792

Usually when we want to look for a POI of certain type along the route, we want to visit a single point.

For example, a gas station. After picking the most convenient gas station, we want to delete the rest.

But the OsmAnd GUI is not meant for bulk-removal of these POIs: You have to tap on the X button of each POI one by one.

This is tedious.

Desired: Provide a bulk-selection mode (like how search history entries can be selected in bulk and deleted).

Today, you could add intermediate destination from that point and disable others. In that case you won't miss that point cause the navigation guide you through.

Yes, but this workaround is for experts only. It won't occur to most users. On the other hand, the following is intuitive:

  1. User long-presses on any POI. OsmAnd shows checkboxes against all POIs,
  2. OsmAnd also shows a master checkbox at top. Selecting this box selects all.
    Unselecting this box unselects all POIs together.
  3. After selecting the entries in bulk, the user taps on a few POIs to toggle their selection status.
  4. User taps on delete button to delete all unwanted POIs in one stroke.
