You need to do your starting and end points, then go into the map and find one of your mid points, and use the menu at the bottom to "Add Via".

Yes. They have a Trip Planner app. You add way points as desired and it will route you via those points. I added planed rest and picnic stops and got est. of arrival time for the leg I was on as well as miles to go. I also got the program "Trip & Waypoint Manager" after I left on my last trip. You install on you computer, plan your tip and then transfer info to GPS unit. Unfortunately my parents have borrowed the unit so I cannot test how well this will work. My first impression is that the program is not that great but I really can't say until I get my GPS back.Craig Yes.

I personally wouldn't buy a GPS without multi-point routing. I am a casual driver (not business) and we use the multi-point function all the time - best for plotting a day's worth of traveling in the most efficient way.

Hey Joseph,I don't know. It dose not seem to work for me. But I may not have something set right. I was more interested in navigating then anything else, which it dose very good. If you contact Emprum at support@emprum.com I'm sure they could answer your question.

I wasn't able to create my own route with multiple way points on this unit. My old TomTom is the XL and I downloaded the free Tyre program that works with Google Earth to create itineraries. Tyre works with TomTom and Garmin and you can create an itinerary with lots of waypoints or stops. You can also edit itineraries you already have on your TomTom. Needless to say I bought the VIA 1605 but returned it. Like you I wanted a unit I could create my own itinerary with lots of waypoints.

I live outside of Boston. We had a Nuvi 760 and subscribed to the FM traffic. It broks so I exchanged it at Best Buy and got a 780. It came with a free subscription to MSN Direct or FM Traffic. We chose MSN direct and never once found it useful. It would only show me a 1 or 2 minute delay about 35 minutes ahead on our route. I found the FM Traffic to be very useful. Once we were driving through NY City and the highway was stop and go. The Nuvi piped up and said an alternate route is available. Loved the help it gave. I began to take it whenever I drove a long distance so it would give me the traffic update. Will not use MSN again.

A year later... (Nov. 2010) the 1490 model has multi-point routing, which I think is very useful especialy if you want to customize your own route, e.g., you want to go from A to A' to A'' and then to B.

How are these waypoints added. I tried doing it on my 265WT and couldn't figure it out. I may have to pull up the online manual and see if it adresses this issue.

Hi MIC S, nuvi 264WT does not have multipoint routing feature, it is available to only 7xx and 8xx series BUT one good feature of this device is to add map from google map. So what you can do is create a map i google and add as many destination or stop you want on your ride and on 2 click you can send the entire route to your device. Enjoy!@!!

I find the 1450 frustrating to set up routes the way I want them. They should at least include MapSource with it. Hopefully I will find a solution...

bought 3 units for testing. I would buy many units. wonder; How do I put the APN? How do I Aim for my system? how do I get access to the protocol manual?

I don't know about making a file, but you can make a multi-point route. I'm not sure how many points are allowed. I usually only do 2 way points. Many times headed somewhere, I'll decide to find a restaurant to eat at. I'll add it. It'll ask what order I want to make the trip in. I arrange the order and it routes me. It will even give you the arrival times and distances for each of the way points.

Make sure you have the tollways option selected and if that doesn't do it then try updating maps again. Good luck.

When you enter the route you want, the unit will show you one route. You can only change the route by adding way points. I wish it would give you at least one more option to choose from, but this unit doesn't.

The feature that lets you take the route you want to take is the "add stop" feature. You can force it to route the you choose by choosing stop(s).Here are the instructions from the manual:Adding a Point to a RouteBefore you can add a stop to a route, you must be navigating a route in Automobile mode.1 While navigating a route, select ￼ to return to the main menu.2 Select Where To?.3 Search for the location (page 8)4 Select Go!.5 Select Add to Active Route.I will add that I haven't tried this and don't know how easy it would be to add a stop on the route one wants.Jeff The feature that lets you take the route you want to take is the "add stop" feature.
