It will involve adding waypoints to your journey. When you have plumbed in your final destination, hit "add waypoint" and put in the town that you wish to stop at first, then again etc etc until you are satisfied, then hit go. It will do the rest for you 👍 |

Southam is correct, add a waypoint. Coincidentally I often use the same route you are planning on my way to Spain via Chartres and Orlean. The only other thing I would add is when selecting a waypoint, try zooming in on the map and select an exact point on the actual road you plan to travel; that way you will drive through the waypoint and the voice won't bother you any further. If you use a waypoint at say a village centre close to your route but which you don't actually drive through, then the voice and direction will pester you to return and drive through the waypoint unless you then manually erase it. |

Gave it a go earlier today, inputting waypoints and it worked, thanks guys. Had already set up the route before seeing your post Paul, so it looks as if we'll be pestered by Satnav Lady. Guess we'll mute her |

Arrived in Orléans yesterday afternoon, using waypoints as markers en route for the first time. Seemed to send us on a bit of a circuit in Rouen, probably as I’d not set any specific location and it pointed us towards city centre Approaching Chartres we followed road signs rather than satnav waypoint and she persisted in trying to turn us around for probably 5 miles until we deleted the waypoint I assumed having gone so far past it would have recalibrated, clearly not. All part of the learning curve.
