If you use the web version, you can plot a course from start to 
destination, then "drag" midpoint(s) to make it go whichever way you want.

There is then a button to "send to phone", unfortunately all that does 
is send the start and destination to the phone, which then calculates 
the route from scratch, ignoring your alterations in the web version ... 
grrr!
