What is a good translation for "waypoint" into Catalan?
I am reading some texts about routes for running. They explain interesting routes and allow getting the GPS track.
Also, there is the option to modify the GPS track by adding waypoints.
Now I want to explain this to a friend in Catalan. However, I cannot find a way to translate waypoint into Catalan.
Since Spanish is similar to Catalan, I checked WordReference for English to Spansih and its article waypoint in GPS coordinates does not suggest a Spanish word but just the English word. For the general waypoint word, it suggests 'parada' in the context of stopping place.
Is there a specific word for a waypoint in GPS coordinates in Catalan or should I stick to the English word?

It seems like a somewhat oxymoronic term, but I think that destí intermedi communicates the correct idea. Once I'd thought of that, I searched for prior usage: the Spanish equivalent seems to be fairly common, and the Catalan phrase does crop up in a Tomtom discussion forum.
