How to Change a Waypoint into a Shaping Point on an Automotive Device

Shaping points allow you to "shape" a custom route to your preference on an automotive device. You may insert a shaping point (up to 125 per trip/route) into a custom route to direct your device to use a specific street in navigating to your destination.  

To Change a Waypoint Into a Shaping Point:

  1. Create or edit a trip using the Trip Planner app

  2. Select the trip to view the list of locations

  3. Touch the icon to the left of an intermediary point you wish to change into a shaping point.

    • The icon should change to a dot, indicating a shaping point.

  4. Repeat step 2 for all additional points you wish to change

    • Start and end points cannot be changed.

  5. If creating a new trip, touch Next

  6. Touch Save or Save Trip

  7. If necessary, type a name for the new trip and press Done

The route with shaping points is now saved to the Trip Planner.
