   ** **Start and destination** are labelled as such and are **not numbered**.
   * To avoid problems with route calculation and navigation, do not place the **waypoints at junctions, roundabouts or turn-offs**!
+  * We recommend that you place **at least one Via point for roundtrips** at around half way, to make sure you don't skip parts of route by accident, as Shaping points might be skipped during the navigation if you go offroute.
   * The **waypoints do not have to be positioned on the road in Kurviger planning**. In Kurviger, they **can be positioned near the road**, e.g. at buildings or squares, to mark meeting points, for example.
   * However, **waypoints next to the road can sometimes lead to confusing instructions** for such waypoints during navigation. If routes with such waypoints are transferred to other planning or navigation systems, there may be problems with planning and / or navigation! They may then have to be placed on the road.
