Routing via a particular road?

Recently, I was in W Bridgford (Nottts) and wanted to get to Nottingham Ikea. My 700 routed me through Nottingham centre which is not the best way to go. The route I wanted was via M1, but I couldn't see how to tell TTG to do this.
Is it possible? It seems pretty fundamental to be able to route via a particular road.

hi

tap the screen then click travel via and then look up the road you wish to go down in the normal way you look for any road

Sorry, but that is my point! How do you tell it to go via a road? I may be being stupid here, but I can't see a way, and Tomtom support told me that it can't be done!
There are no options in 'travel via' that allow inputting a road name that I can see, but......

If you want to travel via a Motorway Junction, try the Mway.ov2 which you can download from http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/oldboy/TomTomPOI/MWay.zip it only does Motorways and Ax(M) roads.

1) Do the usual "Navigate to...."

2) Press "Done"

3) Go to main menu page 2 and press "Browse map"

4) Use the pull/drag/zoom etc facilities to home in and select the road/loaction you want.

5) Press the "Cursor" button (second from the right, looks like four blue triangles grouped into a circle)

6) Press "Travel Via"

Sorted!

As a word of caution, it's worth focussing right in on roads to select a specific point on a road or a junction. Remember than the device treats a dual carriageway as two separate roads!
