I've heard a rumour that the 7xx series will allow you to use multiple waypoints on a journey, rather than the really restrictive single waypoint that my current 360 allows. Can anyone confirm this?

It is true. I have the 750. At this moment one of my routes has 6 vias/waypoints on my way to that destination. So far as I know, there is no limit to the number of vias/waypoints for a route.

The 7xx series (and the new 8xx series) also allow you to save up to 10 routes.

I notice they also have the elusive "Auto sort multiple destinations (provides most direct route)" which i guess is ideal for delivery drivers and such?

The nuvi 7xx series can have multiple waypoints entered in to a route. (I think I've read somewhere that 500 is the limit). This is useful for forcing the nuvi to calculate your preferred route. Waypoints can be entered from street addresses, POIs, Favourites, lat / long co-ordinates, road intersections and even locations selected on the map and saved into Favourites. The route can be preplanned and entered at home; and as said above, up to 10 routes can be stored. Carefully selected waypoints will ensure that your preferred route is calculated.

The route can also be optimised for multiple stops, ideal for delivery drivers. (Also referred to in PaulB20005's post.)
