From pin drop to arrival: choosing the right Waypoint mode

Each Waypoint mode is designed for a different kind of test. Use the simplest option that still reflects the behavior you want to understand.

Start with the simplest mode

Teleport is the fastest way to check what an app does at one specific coordinate. It works well for verifying local results, checking a place detail, or making sure a region-specific experience becomes available. When the destination is the only thing that matters, a pin drop keeps the test focused.

Route when the journey matters

Switch to Route when your test depends on a believable trip. This is useful for anything that reacts to distance, arrival timing, changing neighborhoods, or movement along a road. Waypoint follows actual streets, respects posted limits, and pauses at the moments a real driver would.

Steer when you need control

Manual steering is best when you need to explore a small area, test an unexpected detour, or move at a pace your own scenario requires. You can begin with a route, then take over to inspect the edge cases that only appear when a journey becomes less predictable.
