Is your question on:
1. How to make routes in BaseCamp / Mapsource / other route creation software with announced (and unannounced) points?
2. Getting your Nav VI to announce the (announced) waypoints you've created?
3. Both?
4. Something else?

Ask Nutty........
Particularly if it's option 4.
No. 2 - sort of! I can create a route with waypoints no problem but didn't know that you can have either announced or unannounced waypoints. It's how to turn a waypoint I've created into an announced one that is baffling me.
Are you using:
1. BaseCamp
2. Mapsource
3. Something else, if so what?
4. A Mac
5. A PC
I only ask as, when creating a route on a home computer, the method of choosing whether to have a point as 'announced' or silent (simply a shaping point) varies between each. Getting it right there makes it easier when the route eventually makes its way onto your Nav VI, so it's best to start there.
Don't want to? OK...
The points can be changed from announced to unannounced (and visa-versa) from within most modern Garmin devices; most certainly within the Navigator V and VI. But we can get to that later.... let's start at the beginning....
Can't wait? OK...

If your using basecamp and PC just double click on the route in the lower left box, this will open up the route properties, in the properties tab you can right click on any via point and change it from dont announce to announce on arrival or vice versa.
Hope this helps
As if to make a point, BaseCamp on a Mac creates all points used to shape a route as announced waypoints (not as unannounced shaping points) by default.
You can then opt to change them individually or all at once into silent (unannounced) shaping points in several ways.

1 & 4
BaseCamp and Mac
By default every time you drag the magenta route line onto the road(s) you want to take, the dot it leaves behind will be an announced waypoint.
When you send the route to your Navigator VI the announced waypoints will go across to. These will appear as little orange flags on the device's map.
Thanks.
