Hi and welcome here...
This should answer your question:
This setting defines
- how a waypoint list is displayed on the map
- the type of a waypoint list when it is saved (some file formats like *.gpx that can contain different types of waypoint lists)
I for myself like to plan 'rough' routes by setting the major points in type 'track'.
Always keep in mind that no 'route' as-displayed is transferred to a receiving device:
Only the waypoint list is transferred and the receiving device creates a route based on its own settings.
