control point
Navigation anchor spot
A control point is a reference location used for measurement, navigation, or coordination.
In surveying and mapping, control points are precisely measured positions from which other measurements are taken.
Military and emergency services use control points as designated spots for checking credentials or coordinating operations: Set up a control point at the intersection.
In digital image editing, control points are handles that adjust curves or align photos for stitching.
