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 route) into a custom route to direct your device to use a specific street in navigating to your destination.
