This sounds like what I do when I want to "test" a route before
actually trying to drive it.
With my 76CSx, I turn the receiver off (just the receiver, not the
entire unit), set a "New Location" at the start of the route I want
to test, select the route and start navigating. You can then examine
the generated route on the various screens. With the 76CSx, you can
actually simulate driving the route, but it seems to only go in real
time, so for a long trip this can be very boring :-)
Of course when you're done, you'll have to set your location back to
where you really are, or let the receiver figure it out, which might
take a bit longer.

| Bert's method is the only one I've been able to figure out. A real
PITA, because, as far as I know, you have to navigate to the new
location on screen with the joystick (i.e., you can't use the FIND
feature to find the place you want an then set that as the new
location.
But shouldn't you be able to create a route on the PC in Mapsource and
upload it to the Venture (if you have a PC with you).

On my older 76's, you can change the speed to say 600 mph. So
the simulation goes faster.
