It seems to me that via my 510 it is only possible to get the unit to
navigate via only 1 stop point on route to your destination before it
calculates a route. This seems terribly basic, is it not possible to
calculate more than 1 stop point per destination?
On the same subject it also seems ludicrous that you cant tell it to use
specific roads in its calculation so that it takes the route youd like or
for checking travel times. I know it has an adjustment map where you can
manually pick road points on the map but that only allows 1 point per
calculation (or appears to) and then it often changes the previous part of
the route! :(

Am I missing something or is this how it is? Microsoft Autoroute can do all
these things so why cant a Sat Nav?

Steve, check out itinerary planning. I use it when Im planning routes for
the motorbike. you can pick roads as long as you set them as part of the
Itinerary, earlier this year i did a 2000 mile route in the UK and went on
every road i asked it to.
