That’s exactly what I meant by asking how shaping points will be handled in case of rerouting.

In my opinion a differentiation would be a helpful (and consequent) addition to the way those both types are displayed.

Therefore there would be 2 types of waypoints:

- shaping-points: can be omitted in case of rerouting
- visit-points (or via-points): cannot be ommitted automatically (only the user deletes them, changes them into a shaping-point or uses the “skip next waypoint” function)

Would solve various situations (like already discussed [here](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/rerouting-changes-the-planned-route/1801/36) or [here](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/rerouting-changes-the-planned-route/1801/48), for example).

I think there wouldn’t be any new/addtional UI elements necessary to support such a behaviour because its just the internal logic of the rerouting algorithm.
