Oh, I get it. And there is a native way in postgis to calibrate the line from a 
given set of measured points instead of using the ends?

If I understand it correctly I could:

  1) mylinestringm = ST_AddMeasure(mylinestring, measure_start, measure_end);
  2) Add the given set of points to mylinestringm with ST_AddPoint
  3) Using ST_SetPoint to move the original vertexes.

Is that correct? I'm very interested to know if there is a more direct and 
proper way to create a route from a set of points.

best,
Andrés
