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 a geofence or unit name | As in the previous method, start typing the name of a geofence or a unit and select the required option from the drop-down list. Geofences and units are shown after coordinates and addresses at the end of the list. As a result, if a unit is selected, the point is added to the location where the unit is at that moment.
