Placement of the Beginning start (via) point

Roundabout

I have a Gold MyRoute App & Navigation.
Questions **** In making a new route, the beginning point is a via point:

** Do I set it up in the"More Options" drop down as the “Starting Point”?
** Via Points force you to stop or you have to skip them.
A. Should this via point be placed directly at the exact beginning point where I am starting
B. OR should it be placed a block or so farther down the road?
C. OR place that start point before the actual start point?
Last year, I placed it a block or so farther down the road and I would have to go into my navigation and skip that waypoint (via point) as I started my route.
** I’m thinking it would be best to place it at the exact beginning point, and as you prepare to leave, skip that first via point otherwise it will keep asking you to go back.
** Or if I make this first point as the "STARTING POINT " in the drop down, I'll eliminate this problem??

No
Via points cannot be skipped automatically - that’s it, no else is different.

A. The first point is always a via point. It is best to position it 100+M from the actual start point. This guarantees that your navigation device registers it.
B. See the answer for A.
C. See the answer for A.
Don’t over complicate things, position the first point 100+M from the start position is the only advice you need.
