Entering a route by coords?

Hi all, just received my Active 10 but can't quite seem to work out how to enter a route via a set of coords? You seem to be able to set a marker or a GOTO point via coords, but not input a route that way. Am I missing something? It says you can do it on the review on this very site.

I don't think this is possible, you can edit a route by co-ordinates but not create it. Can you post a link to the post on this site where it says you can please.

Well I don't know any way of doing it other than by drawing the route on screen.

As I see it there are two possible work-arounds for this.
Firstly the dialogue box gives the co-ordinates of the cursor as you move it around. Just move left and right, and up and down to get to the correct co-ordinates.
Alternatively, just plot any old route with the correct number of waypoints. Then go into edit route, then edit waypoints, then edit by grid, and then select them one by one to move to your co-ordinates.
