Routing for nuvi 760

HI all, Quite happy with the Nuvi 760, but have a query. I've organized a route of about 6 POI. The Nuvi arranged them in the most appropriate order. While visiting each route, some of the POI were either 50 or 100 meters out of the way, which is quite acceptable, I believe, as some of them were downloaded on my SD card from POI factory. (Might I say I didn't expect some of them to show up, but sure enough there they were)
My dilemma is this. I arrived at one of my POIs - but the Nuvi did not register that I had arrived (because it was 50 -100 meters off) - so it would not direct me on to the next POI... instead it tried to redirect me to the first POI.
How can I QUICKLY get the first POI out of my list/route, so that I can move on to the next (without having to go into the route list and delete it that way) ?
Thanks
One way is to go to the main
One way is to go to the main screen and stop the route. From there, you can punch in your next POI you want to go to. I think this is what you asked for.
I have to do it occasionally myself.
Interesting
Since my unit won't support routes, I don't have an answer, but the question highlights a consideration when building a route vs a single POI. With a single POI, you would, as Bob suggests, just STOP the routing. With a "route" I guess it makes sense to check each location on a satellite view to make sure you will actually hit the mark (I'd put them in the roadway). Your comment that it alerted even though off by 50-100 meters is quite interesting. Were the coordinates off the roadway by that distance, or was this a distance along the route? Normal along-the route alerts supposedly won't alert unless they are close (50 ft) to the roadway on which you are traveling. I wonder whether this could signal that route alerts are handled more like TourGuide alerts -- alerting by radial distance.
Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.

Does "Where to?" | Routes | Current Route | Add/Remove Points" achieve what you want?
This doesn't seem to alter the 'stored' route - just the current invocation of it.

Thanks for the replies
It doesn't really have to do with alerts. It's just that the POI is not where it's exactly supposed to be,according to the GPS, which is totally ok by me. It's just off by a certain amount of distance and the GPS never really registers that you've hit that POI so it redirect you back to it.
Hornbyp. Your comment seems to be the logical way if it doesn't alter the remaining route, and not too complicated.
Thanks again

I think just deleting it from the route is the easiest and quickest. I have done that a couple of times and it only takes a few seconds.
