nearest point

[40°]

Is there a way to use tasker to execute the "nearest point" command while actively navigating a route?
Except for the direct tap method on the screen.

I raised this as an "idea" 3 years ago but it still hasn't gathered any votes unfortunately.
See   https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/26875-broadcast-intent-navigation-to-nearest-point.

Currently I think Tasker Autoinput is the only way to do it but that's unreliable IMO.

I don't understand why Navigation "stop" and "recalculate" are available but not "nearest-point".
Maybe it could be reconsidered ? 
Please.
