Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Gilletarom: In the Route/Track/WP Manager, routes always start with a leg that starts at the boat's location. I have already indicated that I personally do not see the point of this... one of the things that I find annoying is that the first WP of a route is normally called 001. But, in the current route manager, the first WP of a route is also the start of the second leg of the route.

Describe the solution you'd like Gilletarom: In my opinion, it would be good if in the route manager, the first segment, which starts from the position of the boat, is a segment numbered "0" or "000". in this case, the first WP of the route would also be the start of the first segment of the route, which segment would be numbered "1" or "001". Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context Bdbcat: In the route manager, I agree that the "zero" leg, starting from boat position, is not very useful, and can be confusing. Especially on Imported routes. It is of no use there at all. Unfortunately, this presentation cannot be changed until the next major Release of OCPN (API change needed?). I definitely plan to make that change, as soon as possible. It would be good if this point could be made as an Issue in the opencpn github repository, so that it is not forgotten or overlooked.
