Most will do waypoints, which is basically all about setting your own route (pretty much - I want to travel through X, Y and Z - let the GPS sort the rest).

Then it's just about bells & whistles. I personally wouldn't go for any of the dedicated bike systems. I'd go more for a mobile phone capable of running GPS software (and with GPS either wired into it, or connected via bluetooth). That way you can take (but not really make - unless you use voice dialling) calls too.

Just about everything out on the market will satisfy the "I want to tell it where I'm going, not let it plan for me" criteria.

HTH.

As far as I'm aware there is nothing like that on the market, I just use TT on my phone and listen to the route that John Cleese tells me.

Symbian Phone are the most common that can take it, though my is a Windows Mobile phone and they take them too. I think it even tells you on the TT site what phones it will work on.
