this won't make any sense, because you can only have one active target.
and for route creation the order of the points is important, which gpsdrive 
can't determine...

right. the points are chosen when the selection changes.
the logic is, to first start a new route, and then to add points, so this 
should not be too much of a problem.

you mean the bearing from one route point to the next?
should be no problem.

ok.

which for me (and gpsdrive) is the same as the moving direction.
maybe we should rename all the stuff called 'heading' to 'course'.

facing? you mean moving, I guess...
