What is the difference between waypoints and anchor points in the ConnectedRide Navigator?

The ConnectedRide Navigator distinguishes between different types of navigation points. In particular, routes that have been created in an online route planning portal can therefore be imported in 3 different ways and used for different types of navigation:

Routing by waypoints:
"Waypoints" are hard destinations that must be travelled to explicitly during navigation. This means that you will be navigated to the next current waypoint until you have travelled to it exactly. You can use the "Skip waypoint" function to skip the current waypoint and navigate to the next waypoint. Here you can find out more.
Navigation by waypoints is particularly suitable if you want to explicitly follow the waypoints of your planned route, but want to select the routing criteria flexibly.

Routing by anchor points / "Points":
"Anchor points" are soft destinations that define the course of the route but do not have to be travelled to explicitly.
Navigation by anchor points is particularly suitable if you want to roughly follow your planned route but deviate from it flexibly during the journey.

Routing via a large number of anchor points:
Many anchor points in a row are soft destinations that do not have to be travelled to explicitly. This means that you can see your exact planned route on the Navigator – down to a few metres.
Navigation via many anchor points is particularly suitable if you want to follow your planned route to the exact metre (for example for off-road navigation). In the GPX format, this type of navigation is also called "tracks".
