Before I leave on a long trip, I like to pre-program the Nav with a lot of the destinations, POI's, etc., that I plan to visit. Then I can call them up easily without having to feed them in while traveling.

Other Nav's I've had used a "Store Location" option to allow you to do this, but I can't find a way to store locations in the TL's Nav. The one exception may be the Personal Addresses function, but that seems to be geared to things like Granny's house, the doctor's office, your Acura dealer and so on.

So is that the only way to store destinations, or am I missing something?

You can add all of them to "Today's Destinations." Another option would be to plan a route to each individually and then cancel the route. They'll all be in your "Previous Destinations" list.

I haven't really tried this on my TL but my mother used to have an '05 RL and you can set "Waypoints" on your trip along the way.

Thanks, Blue. I couldn't find it anywhere, but I assumed Today's Destinations would "go away' after today (like maybe it's integrated with the calendar function?). But anyway, there is apparenly a max of only 5 destinations there.

I had figured out the other trick of routing and cancelling, but I hoped there was a better way.

'Appreciate the tips!

That's true, but I think waypoints are limited in number, and they also become part of a single big route.

I guess I'm weird, but I like to break trips up into segments ... so if for instance I'm going from Dallas to Las Vegas, I might set "mini-routes" to Amarillo, Albuquerque, Flagstaff, etc. That way, I can watch the mileage countdown, plan stops along the route for lunch, gas, etc. a little easier, and it just makes a long trip seem easier by breaking it up into chunks.

Thanks!

Oh man! I didn't realize there was such a small maximum number of destinations in the "Today's Destinations" section. I can certainly think of times I would've planned more than five stops in a single day. One example would be when house-hunting and the realtor gives us a list of addresses to drive past.

The "Today's Destinations" don't go away until either you reach the destination using the routing or you delete it from the list. If you stop short of where the Navi thinks the destination is, it leaves it on the list because it thinks you never finished the route. I'm in New Jersey on business and the Navi thinks the hotel is about half a mile further down the road than it really is. So it's been in "Today's Destinations" for about three weeks since I first came up here, even though I've had it map a route to the hotel on at least four different occasions.
