You can do this already with the Route tool. Use the Toogle Loop function (either right-click or in the Edit Route window) to connect the first waypoint to the last - creating a polygon. Then in the Edit Route window, use the Fill/Loop options to create filled patterns of solid or semi-transparent colors.
Press the Help button in the Edit Routes window for more tips and tricks.
