Firmware v5.40 already allows the Meridian to use turn by turn guides - even older ones.
But what we don't have yet is an equivalent product to "DirectRoute North America" (which I have). That is, it's the detail maps that actual contain the data you want.
Let's hope that v2 of DAST is actually "DirectRoute Australia".
By the way, it may not be instantly apparent, but "StreetRoutes" as Mapsend call them are created on the fly - you cannot store them. You can only store Waypoint
routes. You can convert StreetRoutes into Waypoint
routes, but not the other way around.
So when on the road, you can generate a turn guide (StreetRoute) from point A to Point B, or from "waredafugawi" to point B. What you cannot do is plot and store turn directions from
Melbourne to
Geelong via
Sydney,
Cairns,
Broome and
Perth - it will just take you straight down the highway from M to G
