Leedude, that would work just as well.
With the Nav V, you can switch a waypoint into an unannounced shaping point and back again, the device making a small recalculation each time. Find a convenient shaping point or waypoint and set it as your target, then pick up the route from there.
Another alternative would just be to throw the route up on the map but not run it. Then zoom in and out a bit and ride to it down roads of your choosing. This would be no different to the instruction 'Please ride to highlighted route' on older devices.
