I've worked out how to do that in mapsource now, although I tend to use
google maps for planning, as I'm usually comparing distances between
alternative routes and then using streetview to get a picture of the
destination

I guess Luxembourg must have really cheap coffee ?

Everytime I stop at the services at Wasserbillig there appears to be
hoardes of Spiky Helmets buying crates and crates of ground coffee.

Eh? What many users call "rubber banding"? I use it all the time.
Click on the route with the selection tool to make it yellow, click
again to give you the rubber bands. Move mouse (not dragging) to new
point, preferably a junction. Click once to anchor rubber bands there.
Mapsource automatically calculates new route through the shaping point
you've just created.

Choosing a junction ensures the new point is not created as a
waypoint, simply as an invisible "via" point. To get it accurate I
tend to zoom in to find the new point, zoom out to pick up the route,
zoom back in to anchor route on new point. By using the + and - keys
for the zooming the whole thing becomes quick and easy - more so than
my description would suggest.
