In this section, you can add the route points and work with them. To plan a route, you should specify the addresses of two obligatory points: the departure point and the destination point. You can also add any number of waypoints to the route.
The following markers are used to indicate the added points in the list and on the map:
- : departure point;
- : waypoint;
- : destination point.
Each marker has a sequence number of the point. The numbers change automatically depending on how many points are added and in what order they are arranged.
Adding points
You can add route points using one of the following methods:
- entering coordinates;
- entering an address;
- entering a geofence or unit name;
- clicking on the map.

Entering an address in the point row | To add a point, follow the steps below.
The selected address is automatically added to the point row. |
Entering a geofence or unit name | As in the previous method, start typing the name of a geofence or a unit. To search for units, you must enter at least 3 characters. Select the required option from the drop-down list. Geofences and units are shown after coordinates and addresses at the end of the list.

Working with points
You can work with the route points in the list and on the map. All actions are synchronized automatically, that is, any change in the list is also applied to the map and vice versa.
