The MapPoint version I tried about a year and a half ago did have this feature (adding a point to a route). I used it to force a route around Montreal instead of through the middle. I didn't use it much, and my first attempt had me driving down a one-way street the wrong way.
For highway driving I prefer paper maps and once you get close to where you're going either you know where you're going, or you need a really detailed map with street-names. I don't like any of the results when planning long-distance routes; not enough detail at the ends.
