What is a "Waypoint"?

Use waypoints to mark notable places or tricky turns along a route and add detailed information about them. Choose from four waypoint symbols to show which direction the route continues or to indicate that the waypoint marks a special place along the route.

How to create a waypoint:

Using the Route Planner

Select a set point (e.g. “D“) along the route in the Route Planner.
Information will appear showing the geodata of the point. Select “Create waypoint“.
A window opens in which you can add a title for the waypoint, assign it one of the symbols and provide a description.
Select “Save“ to finish creating your waypoint.
The point will now be displayed with its accompanying symbol.

Good to know

Waypoints are always directly linked to the route.
When the route is published, the waypoints become visible to all community members.
A point can also have the category “waypoint” just like “mountain hut” or “viewpoint,” but that is not the same as a waypoint linked to the route.
Please note that waypoints cannot be viewed during navigation.
