Is it possible to program a route with multiple stops (waypoints) with the nav system in the E60? I have double-checked the owner's manual and cannot find anything about it which probably means you can't. However, the wealth of knowledege in this forum amazes me so I thought I would double-check here.

Too bad...with all the technologically advanced goodies the E60 offers, something as simple as multiple waypoints should have been included.

You can program multiple destinations. Once you have programed your first destination, choose "add to list" instead of "start guidance". Then choose "new destination" again, input the next destination and choose "add to list" and so forth.... As you go from destination to destination, you will choose your new destination from your list of destinations. You can also add new destinations while navigation is active, such as a restaurant or gas station. Do not end your guidance, instead go to "new destination", add the new info, then either choose "add to list" or "start guidance" depending on wether you want to go the new destination or not. It is not exactly "waypoint", but accomplishes the same thing.
