It is most time only written “waypoint”. In beta 1.13.x we have different waypoints.  
We should differentiate between **via points** and **shaping points**.  
**Via points** ( **with** optional announcement at navigation) and **Shaping points** ( **without** announcement at navigation). It is fine that both types are listed and numbered in the waypoint list.

The differentiation is to less considered at rerouting. Yes, I know that somewhere is mentioned at rerouting the shaping points between rerouting location and following waypoint (via point or destination) will be skipped. But is this really what you want? There are some doubts.

At rerouting there are situations where this is not good and the advantage of shaping points can’t be used!

To show it I use an example of a route segment. The examples are made with website, where currently shaping points are not included.

We have a route segment, in the example from start to end, route type extra curvy. With no waypoints between start and end two important things are not touched. Therefore a via point is set at a fuel station. Another via point is set at a route section which should be part of the route. Instead of a via point here a shaping point would be more useful, because at this place you don’t need any instruction. It’s only for shaping the route. Point 2 (at the Must Be Section) could be a shaping point.

Behind the fuel station there is missed to use the correct route (see green arrow). A rerouting will be made (for this waypoint 2 is inserted). You see the whole route.

And now I show you why there are doubts for the until now prefered behaviour.

At first **considering** the **Must Be Section** (set by **Via point** OR **Shaping point** ) with **online routing** and route option **Extra curvy** (picture **A** ) and option **Fastest** (picture B) similar to the **offline routing** :  
**A** )

And second **ignoring** the **Must Be Section** (set by **Shaping point** ) because it is skipped (automaticly), recalculated with **online routing** and route option **Extra curvy** (picture **C** ) and option **Fastest** (picture **D** ) similar to **offline routing** :  
**C** )

Which recalculation mode is necessary that the recalculated route looks like picture **A** or **B** when at the **Must Be Section** there is **set a shaping point instead of a via point**?
