Well, I'd like to say I had some success but that's not the case.
I inserted points on the roads that I wanted to use without any trouble but the last step was to select Fastest or Shortest route and when I did it re-routed my trip entirely.
Go figure, so I'm back at squareone.
Wing Ryder, try these steps and see if this helps.
1. From the home sreen when you first turn the unit on, select TOOLS>MY DATA>ROUTES>CREATE NEW SAVED ROUTE.
2. Select your
start point from one of the three options.
3. Select your
end point from one of the three option.
4. Now select YES from the "ADD AN INTERMEDIATE DESTINATION POINT?" screen and follow the prompts.
5. Select YES on the "ADD ANOTHER INTERMEDIATE DESTINATION POINT?" screen and follow the prompts. Do this as many times as you want to add intermediate destination points.
6. Select NO on the "ADD ANOTHER INTERMEDIATE DESTINATION POINT?" screen.
7. Select "DON'T SORT" and select NEXT.
8. Select "FASTER TIME" or "SHORTER DISTANCE."
I usually choose SHORTER DISTANCE. Play around with this part and see which one you prefer.
9. The GPS will now do some calculations. When it is finished, select FINISH.
10. Now select "EDIT/REVIEW ROUTE"
11. Find the route your just created and select it.
12. Select EDIT and RENAME the route to something that makes sense to you. If you're just screwing around, pick something like TEST or ABC123. When you have the name chosen you want to use, select DONE.
13. Now press the MENU button on the right side of the GPS case.
14. Select TOOLS
15. Select MY DATA
16. Select ROUTES
17. Select NAVIGATE SAVED ROUTE and select your route.
That should be all there is to it. Once you do it a few times, it will get easier. If you're planning a long trip, say a cross country trip, you mihgt opt to get a copy of MapSource. Trying to lay out a LONG route on that small screen gets to be a PITA (Pain In The A$$).
Hope this helps.
