Ride to Hermann, MO from Kansas City, MO (winery near the Missouri river)

While you are actively navigating a route (or at least started it), select the menu button (looks like 3 lines) on the lower right. Scroll up until you see "Destinations". Scroll through the list to find the waypoint you want to stop navigating to and select it. Select the menu button (again looks line 3 lines) on the bottom left of the screen. Select Stop. It should now recalculate the trip without the waypoint you selected.
Give it a try. It seemed to do what I wanted after bypassing a waypoint I might have missed or had to detour around.

Ok, I stepped through it this morning and writing this down from memory so hopefully this all makes sense.

I discovered that as well today. "Waypoints" as I am used to them for manipulating routes, when used on my "other" GPS' are ignored (so to speak), you see them as you approach but they are not considered places to go, or stop, they are a just a point used for route perfecting.
If you go past it, the "other" GPS' just recalc the route based on the rest of the way points in line with your next stop or POI.
The HD GPS thinks that the waypoints are destinations and therefore you have to arrive at them. Which IMO is an issue.
I did a test today - real easy straight route but used WP's to force the route to take another road.
So I engaged the trip I set up through the GPS and was on my way. I decided that I will take another road to see what the HD GPS would do. As I passed my WP, the GPS said recalculating. And as others have posted in other threads here - even though I will still on my way to my final stop or POI, the HD GPS kept trying to recalculate to force me to go through or to my WP. I think this needs some adjusting.
Make POI's places where we have to go and WP's as references only for route calculations. Now the "funny" thing is when you import your trip, initially, you do not see these WP's. Once imported and you are ready to activate the trip, you now see in the list of the route your POI's (starting point and end point) and the WP's are now called Via Points.
So now you could have two school's of thought:
POI's as starting and end points using WP's as route guides, but you better hit them on your route or now how to get into your Nav menu and tell it to skip to the next WP/Via Point...
OR
POI's as starting and end points, using WP's/Via Points as your subsequent stops, but do not exceed 9 of them in one trip and you better hit them on your route or know how to get into the Nav menu to force the system to jump to next point and you better be happy with the roads that the HD GPS routes you through. :-)

Does the voice on the satnav actually tell you the place as you renamed it??

When you are in Ride Planner you can build routes with as many locations as you want (allowing you to name each location). The problem you will encounter is; as you import to the 6.5 it will only allow 2 locations per route (plus 7 way points). It will then break your original route into segments ( with only 2 locations).

Just thinking out loud here but what if instead of choosing each waypoint as you go I wonder what would happen if you choose the last waypoint first if it would then let you go through the route without recalculating at each waypoint
