If you drive past but very close to the next waypoint, the route guidance will
continue with the subsequent waypoint.
If you drive past a waypoint and this does “not disappear” from the waypoint tour (e.g. because the distance to this waypoint is too large), then there is the
possibility to “skip” over this waypoint and continue the guidance to the next
waypoint.
