_All shaping points are used in rerouting (after next via point)._

The primary question is: rerouting should be done towards next via point or next shaping point?

Via points are the “must visit” points, shaping points are less significant only for route geometry.

As already explained, making them equal will change also all navigation algorithms and UI info:

> Thanks for the detailed description. Note that allowing via points and shaping points to have the same weight in rerouting, then nearest / next waypoint (also in strict) will be any of both: a via or shaping point. Navigation panels will show distance and time to next any of via or shaping points. And top-left nav panel will show direction / distance to any of via or shaping points. There cannot be half solutions in rerouting vs UI, any change will affect all of them.
