A via point or waypoint is a point along which you want your route to pass. In the route planner, these points are shown as green dots on your route.
Adding a via point
- Once you’ve launched the route planner, you can add a via point by:
- simply clicking on the map with your mouse
- entering an address in the 'from' and 'to' search bars
- setting your current location as the destination
- If you repeat the action for another location, a new via point will be added. And so on...
A route is calculated between two via points based on the selected routing settings.
Inserting a via point
Suppose you want to plan a different path between two points (A and B), follow these steps:
- Click on the segment between A and B and drag that point.
- A new via point (P) will be created where you release the mouse.
- The segments A–P and P–B will be recalculated based on the routing settings currently selected. Read here how to adjust them.
Moving a via point
- First, select the via point you want to move by clicking on it once. The point will now be active (colored red).
- Click the point again, hold it, and drag it to a new location (hold the left mouse button and move the mouse). The via point will be moved to where you release it.
- The route before and after the active point will be recalculated based on the current routing settings. Read here how to adjust them.
