Tyre
Yeah, I used Tyre to create a number of itineraries for driving to Florida and back. Worked ok for the most part, but I agree - TomTom should just follow your instructions instead of calculating routes. After all, you (I) just calculated the routes.
Often I'm just looking for guidance as to how far to the next turn, exit, etc. I don't necessarily want the fastest or the shortest route, I want what I already told it I wanted. It would also be nice if they would make it easier for you to tell it to travel via certain routes, like certain Interstates. Seems like that should be a separate function all by itself. And I agree about the waypoints - if I put them in, I would like some sort of announcement: "Waypoint number 5 in 2 miles". Otherwise, why put them in? Having said all that, however, I'm sure glad I had my ONE on the trip. Saved me from getting lost or going the wrong way a number of times. Used it to navigate to a pizza joint while in Savannah. Must have been at least 25 or 30 turns (shortest route), but it got me there and back to the hotel ok.
