English term or phrase: Around Way points

Cela fait partie d'une indication de GPS sur un écran. Il me faut donc une traduction courte et je bloque: "autour des points de cheminememnts" est trop long comme "autour des waypoints" ... Autour aurait-il une abréviation
ou y aurait-il une facon courte de traduire waypoint? Merci.
