A waypoint is a route influencing point, sometimes referred to as a “via” point. A waypoint modifies the route path so it passes through a specified point, without acting as a full stop (destination) for a pickup, a delivery, or a rest break. 


Stops and waypoints are added to a trip the same way. However, you cannot add a waypoint until you already have at least one stop on your trip. To add a waypoint, search for the desired location and:

  1. On the Location Info screen, tap the bar to expand the screen's bottom drawer.
  2. By default, a location is marked as a Destination, which is a normal stop.
  3. Tap Waypoint and Add Stop to add the location to your trip as a waypoint.
  4. A Waypoint is displayed on the Trip Preview screen with an up arrow icon.
