Is there a (free?) prog somewhere with more control over the route?

You can set up a multi-segment route by Downloading the route in segments. For example, say you want to go from 123 Baker St. to 789 Butcher St., but you want to make sure to pass through 456 Baylor St. First, download the route from 123 Baker St. to 456 Baylor St. Then, download the route from 456 Baylor St. to 789 Butcher St. The second route will append to the first, and waypoint announcement should work when transitioning from the end of the first route to the beginning of the second route.

If you are satisfied with the result, you can save the new, two-segment route into a Route file. If you want, you can manually tweak the file to remove the "break" so that the directions now represent a single segment, from 123 Baker St. to 789 Butcher St.

Unfortunately, there is no means by which to control the exact directions that are generated.
