Thanks for the comment asprin624 but my frustration started 10 months ago when I was planning a three week drive through UK. I purchased a Navman thinking I would be able to plot each days drive and then load it into the GPS but the only way that I could find to do this was to enter the coordinates for each waypoint. I communicated with the Navman support in Australia and he suggest I buy another model which ended up be the same so each night I would manually enter each turn.

It worked out reasonably well except we were directed over the Erskine Bridge in Glasglow 3 times so I can only guess that I stuffed up the entry and put it in twice - we had a good laugh about it.

This is when I thought that there must be a better way to layout a sight seeing drive and be navigated along my customised route so I have spent the last 6 months or so trying various Android apps and OSMAND+ seems to me to be the best app for what I want to do.

Part of what I like about OSMAND+ is that I can load the gpx file at home in Western Australia and the check the route to make certain I will be going exactly the route I have planned.

One of the early apps I tried was Sygic but it will not show the route unless I am in USA which means I can not try them out until I arrive and that will not give me time to correct them.
