I have CoPilot on Android and it has the itinerary feature. I've used it on the last couple of ADUK days I've been to and its works great. Although I tend to prefer Google maps for everyday use as it's a bit more flexible, as well as being free.
To be honest, I can't understand why people are still using stand-alone satnavs when smartphones are so much better. There's not even that much difference in price these days.
Oh, and to the luddites sniping from the side-lines about how much better paper maps are/were, you need to learn to talk from the correct orifice. In the days before satnavs, it was a case of crawling through city streets with an AtoZ on your lap (assuming the vast library that's filling every spare inch of storage space includes the one you want) trying to work out where you are on the page, or even which page you should be on, and what the street you just passed was called, whilst at the same time trying to keep up with the flow of traffic and trying not to hit anything. I'd hardly call that safe.
As far as I'm concerned, glancing at a screen occasionally has a negligible effect on safety, especially when compared to the alternative as described above.
If most of your driving only involves going to work, to the shops, and to the seaside once a year, then I can perhaps understand the absence of a clue. For those of us who do real driving, satnavs have become an indispensable tool.
