Can you plot routes on it like itinerary planning etc

[OhJay]

I've got the Navigon app on my phone and you can set waypoints. Trying to plot a route road by road would be a complete ballache but possible. I did plot a route Bristol over the Beacons and its not particularly intelligent. I took a slightly different route through Abergavenny than I had plotted in and it refused to tick off that waypoint and get in with it, the entirety of the way over the beacons it was telling me to turn round. Phone lives in my pocket so I don't know if I can tell it to skip that one and move on.

TYRE have just announced that on their premium subscription service they can output routes to it though, might treat myself start of next year see how I get on with it. Just need to sort out powering the damn thing, it keeps switching itself off "to save battery life"
