Tomtom have an agreement with a the Dutch software house that produces a program called TYRE ( trace your route everywhere) I am sure that this software has an interface that will upload ITNs to the less functional devices
TYRE basic is free

I use TYRE and the version I've got doesn't...it just converts a route into a series of 'Points Of Interest' (POI) that you have to manually select the next one as you get to each.
I've just had a look on the TYRE website and the latest PRO version has something called 'route tracks' - does anyone here use it? It still seems to have some disadvantages like no spoken directions and I'm not sure if it moves onto the next POI automatically.
I wish TomTom would just put the itinerary feature back - weird to have been taken away in the first place.
