[BaseCamp] Adding a waypoint to a route

With all of the BMR boni, I have a separate list for each bonus code.  When I'm putting together a projected ride, I start with a new blank list.  I then open the list for each of the bonus codes and use the select tool (ARROW) in the area I'm planning to ride in and select all of the bonus' in that area, Copy them (CNTRL C), and Paste them (CNTRL V) in the Blank list, and then repeat for the other bonus codes.  Once I have those copied to the new list, I select all of the bonuses in the new list, right click and have BC develop a route for me.  Then I go in and tweak that route, deleting bonus' as needed, re-arranging, etc.  It's actually pretty fast in BC.  Once the route is completed to my satisfaction, I duplicate the route, and save it in DIRECT mode so that I can edit it once it's loaded to my Garmin Montana.
