Automotive / Cars & Trucks / systme GPS
English term or phrase: via point
Je traduis les commandes d'un système GPS. Le texte est anglais australien. Je ne vois pas du tout ce qu'ils entendent par via point. Ce n'est pas un viaduc qd même ?Des idées ?

In 500m, you have a rest area.
In 250m, you have a via point.
In 250m, you have a side road of tunnel.
In 250m, you have a Bridge.
In 250m, you have a side road of bridge.
You have arrived.

point via


Explanation:
However:

http://www.elsinga.org/portal/addviapoint.html

A point that the driver selects to pass through on the way to somewhere else, i.e. stop in Dijon on the way to Marseille for the wine and architecture even through it would not be on the quickest route.
