When to use via and when to use through

Hi,

Could someone please provide a rule as to when to use via and when to use through? I do not have any particular example in mind, just looking for the rule. I only know that when you are referring to stopovers, you are supposed to be using via.

Regards,

George

Via and through have the same definition :- 'by means of' or 'by way of', but they are used differently. 'through' is used more often and is used more generally. It is used with the words like window, door, glass, air, time, water, process, or trees.
