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_](https://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=waypoint) 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?
