Can the Navi do this...
I was wondering if the Navi system can be set up so that it routes me from point A to B to C to D and so on. Examples would be if you were coming back from a party and have to drop off friends and would like the navi system calculate the best route for you as to who you should drop off first and last and how to get home. If the TL doesnt have this feature, I sure hope Acura puts it in. If it does, please tell me

I think he means change the order of destinations based on which he wants to stop at first. Unless something's changed since my TL-S, the answer is no. My Volvo Navi does let you re-order a trip and even add and delete destinations in the middle of a programmed trip. It's a neat feature.

Yes, you can re-order the points and remove them at will. I do it all the time.

In other words, add a fourth destination in the middle of the trip without affecting the original three. I haven't played with the new Navi that's obviously been upgraded from the version on my TL-S/MDX.
If you have an available entry left in "todays destinations" it will add it. You might have to change the order of the list though. Or you can just find the new destination, drive to it...then press "todays destinations" to get back on track.

Related question:
On a 4 hour drive I take every few weeks during the Fall, I like to go a specific way and I can't get the nav to emulate this specific route whenever I drive it. Without setting specific 'destinations' like a McDonald's at each intersection of highway, can I specify a specific route and save it somehow?
TIA

joganjani is corret, and elbodude adds more details. As long as the destinations are saved into Today's destinations, you can always re-order/delete/add them...

Hmm, that answers somewhat my question. But what I also wanted to know was that does the navigation system take you depending on the order you SET them in or the order that gives the most direct driving. Let me try to be more specific with another example.
My House
In-n-Out
Work
Friends house
2nd Friends house
Starbucks
Outback Steakhouse
Lets say you enter those destinations and you want the most direct route that hits all those destinations. If you entered them in that order and it is NOT the most direct (and you know it), does the navi program it so that you can go in the most direct way?

Right.
Plus, 04 Navi will follow the order you've selected/entered to display the info, but Navi won't tell you which destination should go first in order to calculate the most direct way.
For example, if you enter the order to Washington State (#1) and Oregon State (#2) from LA, your Navi won't re-route by itselfe to go Oregon first instead of Washington although Oregon is closer. Your Navi just follow step by step whatever you put into and display the routes for you.
But you could change the order anytime manually and make your Navi re-calculate.

Yea, yea, and in the morning MY Navi is "making me breakfasat"! Sheesh! How lazy ARE you guys? Can't you figure out which destination to go to first on your own? Actually some of the information in here is helpfull. But what some people expect is amazing.

I am not lazy. But if you are going to be going to so many places on one trip, and some of them may be extremely far, you would want to save gas too and find the most direct route.

I'm with you MasterTL... That would be a great feature to have (especially if they had it before). Just the other day, I went looking for a new apt in a different neighborhood. I just entered 4 addresses, and went to them in that order. Would have been nice if the Navi had ordered them for me, from furthest to closest, or vice versa, as opposed to the order I entered them, since it really didn't matter which one I went to first; just needed to see all of them...

Sounds like it's time for the Honda Navi boys to talk with the Microsoft Streets and Maps optimize team and integrate the two. We use S&M (the program) to route our appliance delivery truck every day. Saves us about 25% in mileage and fuel charges.
I wouldn't think that any of us TL drivers would dare use such a program and then program our Navis. Waaaaay too much work!

Another question (don't know if this got answered in the above threads, but didn't see it in my quick browse). Can the nav learn a new location not on a map? I'm in the process of building a new house on a new tract that is not on the nav yet. Instead of waiting a year or when ever the new nav disk comes out, I wish I could just select a random location on the map - like on a bread crumb. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks in advance for any help.

A) Closest to Farthest from Current Location
Or
B) In Order of Entry
Maybe there are more, but I am tired and it is 2 AM. Good nite. BTW, it doesnt seem hard to me, maybe the initial programming between MS and Alpine, but after that the Navi would be kick ass

circles in nav map?
I see a collection of small round hollow circles, which seem to be tracing the path of a small creek I know of. Or they are a city boundary. Or they are a glitch on the map. Anyone know which?

MasterTL,
I have to correct some of info listed above. If you have a, b, c, and d and enter them into Today's Destination, your Navi will
For example,
A: SFC
B: Portland
C: Seattle
D: BC, Canada
Each time you press Today's Desti, Navi will auto re-route for you, in this case, from LA, a, b, c, and d. But you could change them to C, D, B, and A if this is what you want. However, if you turn off the Navi, the Navi will auto re-route for you again when you hit Today's Desti...
Sorry for misleading info in the past...

- guid you how to drive one after one
- Navi will auto re-route the shortest/best ways for you
- you could edit the detination order by your own preference

A: SFC
B: Portland
C: Seattle
D: BC, Canada
