You can easily create or adjust a route quickly with the in-app Routeplanner. To use this, you need the Navigation Next subscription.

ATTENTION! Do you not have this subscription? The in-app browser will then open, so that you can still create/adjust routes on the website.

Add and move waypoint

Sometimes you want to add or move a waypoint in an existing route. This is of course also possible in the in-app Routeplanner.

Short press on the route line: If you short press on the line, you can add a waypoint between existing waypoints and it will be placed exactly on the route line. Don't forget to add the floating intermediate point permanently by clicking on Add or the yellow button.
Long press on the route line: If you press on the line longer, the intermediate waypoint will be placed directly and exactly on the route line. However, if you move this intermediate waypoint, you can move it directly to a new location.
List of waypoints: You can also quickly move an existing waypoint from the list of waypoints. Drag the waypoint to be moved to the correct location by pressing the dots on the left and keep it pressed while you drag.

Waypoint: See here, just like on the map, which route point you have selected.
