Oh....i know nuvi got this "via point" feature, but i dont realise that GMXT has it. Thanks for correct me.

However, i think it is difficult to do it while u r driving right? (i find that is difficult to do that with 5800XM, but i dont know how about others phone model). Unless u stop your car at the side then only set it or ask someone sit beside u to set it while u are driving.

You have to browse it slowly, else it will hang and need to exit.
I think this is due to low memory during processing the map.

btw, when we search for a place, then say we can see a mac donalds around the (road)destination we want, can we pin point to the exact location of the mac donalds and track our route there?

Hi gpsnerd, it's possible only while browsing the map, select the location you need to route to, then select Info icon (top right). Then select the location (among the list, if any), and select Go!.
