Need ability to plot multiple jumps on
As far as I can tell, there does not appear to be a way to manually plot multiple jumps on android.
Hold your finger on the sector to plot an additional jump.
I got that to work once on my phone. Very cumbersome. How is it supposed to work when plotting in multiple systems?
You can still press the zoom to universe button and your plot stays as is. Then when you select a different system and press the zoom to system button, you can continue to make your nav route.
I don't really like how it works to be honest, but at least it is functional. It's not like I have any better ideas on how to do it either. The nav map is just so small to try to long press a particular sector.
At least we can play on mobile though. :D
Welcome back by the way. Good to see someone coming back to the game.

Thanks. It's good to be back, but I'm looking to only play casually and for brief periods at the moment.
My plots don't stay. Maybe its because I'm on a phone and have a very small nav map to work with,
but I've only gotten it to plot multilple jumps once in the same system and that was an accident. I tried making multiple jumps between systems and have no luck.
To me this is a basic function. Running procs between Dau & Nyrius and plotting multiple loops between Dau L10 and Nyrius K7 for instance. Or the good old pirate dodge of jumping through multiple empty sectors. It should be intuitive and easy.
A simple button to hold the last jump point or series of jump points should be easy enough to add. IIRC all you do on the PC is hold down the shift button when selecting another sector, though it's been a while and I may be incorrect on that. There is certainly enough room on the PDA for a small 'link jumps' button.

Hi, and welcome back.
If you zoom out and in to different system, you still need to do long press. Other wise it will map strait to your selected sector ignoring previous selections. If you made an error there is always "undo last selection" button. But above all I would recommend Nav com plugin, just more options to play with, and save and load of routes ;-)

AHA! Thanks Inhibitor. I didn't pick up on that you have to hold the next sector slightly longer in order to get it to map the next leg of the journey. That works perfectly!
Considering how important and basic it is to be able to plot multiple jumps I think adding a button is the best option. Players ask about this all the time and a button makes it a lot more obvious.
Two buttons should be present
A button to add a stop
and a button to clear a stop or clear the whole route
