I need to know about this, too. I haven't used my Legend in several
months but I found out today that new routes are now showing all the
numerical waypoints. I might not mind them too much if they didn't all
come at the top of the waypoint list. But I would rather not have
every single turn along a road be a waypoint to begin with. What can I
do? Thanks.
