Mobility Site - View Single Post - GPS software w/ route planner capabilities?

I received my Belkin Bluetooth GPS Receiver a couple of days ago and have been playing with it everytime I get in the car to go somewhere, no matter if the trip is a mile long or 40 miles long, I have the GPS tell me where I am and where to go. I noticed the Belkin Nav. Software does not have a route planner. Sure, it will give you a suggested route to take and then reroute if you get off track. I haven't taken the GPS anywhere I am not familiar with yet, and frankly, from experience the route it chooses for me is not always the best route to take.

What I would like it to do is give the user the ability to choose the route beforehand (ie choose which roads along the way) and then all it would do is guide you and make sure you stay on that route all the way to the destination. Is there any GPS software that can do this?
