Multiple Waypoints

Got my GO yesterday, and very impressed. Nice and clear and everything else. My only problem is I can't figure out how to enter multiple waypoints. According the this review: http://www.lordpercy.com/tom_tom_go.htm
multiple waypoints are available, and a useful way of creating a complex route.

"Navigation simply requires a part postcode of entry of a UK address down to street level and the unit starts to plot your route from current position, a new feature with Go is the inclusion of waypoints allowing the plotting of complicated multi stop routes, ideal for deliveries."

How's it done, 'cos it not covered in the manual (I don't think).

You can't. Let's hope it gets fixed in the next update ...

You can have an intermediate travel-via or waypoint simply by setting a route and then select find alternative then travel via and you can enter your stop over location.

Yes Mike, you can create one via that way, but Maggot specified multiple waypoints to make a complex route.

My workround is to set up potential waypoints as favourites, and pop them in as vias like you described as I go along.

I often break long trips into a sequence of multiple destinations anyway, to keep down the recalc time, which can be signifant on a complex route.

Thanks MikeB - I see a work round of putting numbered favourites or POI's along my chosen route, and then navigating to each one in turn. Seems a bit of fiddle mind. It's a pain when I don't intend to stop - i.e. have a route where I want to avoid two sections, independantly.

I wrote to tomtom, and they said they'd consider it for a future release (hmm). Considering navman offers 14 waypoints, Garmin has 500, and TTGO offers only 1, it's an area that could use some enhancement!! We'll see! The whole subject of routing seems to let the ttgo down a bit, with no options for avoiding motorways, or wanting scenics routes etc.
