Hi all,
After a quick search, there seems to have been plenty of discussion on here around the use of sat nav apps for iPhone, in lieu of standalone sat nav units.
I know that the standalone units are better generally, but I can't justify spending £300+ when my iPhone can do nearly as good a job (I know there are limitations, but that's a separate topic).
That said, I would like to pre-plan/customise routes using computer software (such as Tyre) so that I can ride specific roads and export/upload them to the sat nav app on the iPhone. Many apps (like Google Maps) will simply re-calculate the route using the fastest possible route, loosing the plotted waypoints.
I have seen this thread but it's from many moons ago and seems very long winded. I wondered if anyone had any more up-to-date advice.

Does anyone have any experience doing this? Or will I need to shell out for a standalone sat nav?
Thanks in advance.
