What nav app do you use for trips through the back roads

When I am taking the 'scenic' route (most of the time for road trips) the two waypoints on my NTG 4.5 system does not cut it for keeping to a planed back country route.

I have been looking for an Android offline turn by turn nav app with multiple waypoints.

Voyager, no turn by turn
Road warrior, total overkill
Waze, no offline and no route manipulation.
Navmii, cant seem to do multi waypoint route manipulation.
Google Maps, can't seem to do turn by turn on a pre-saved map.

I don't seem to be able to import custom routes in my version of NTG with routes 1.02 as per the SLK link below. This is a shame because that would be job done.

Thoughts?

I recall using an app called " Mapfactor" navigator in the past with my tablet for offline use. It does have waypoint capabilities.

However, take this advise with a grain of salt as I have not had to use it in a year or two.

Hope this helps,

Thanks! This looks to be the best so far. Though I haven't tried, OSMAnd, Co-pilot and Navigon just yet. Anyone have any experience with these?
It looks like the sort of nav app the motorcyclist use is ideal.

+ Mapfactor:
- You can set all kind of preference for back roads - very cool
- The multi waypoint routing is easy and can be done directly from the map
- Offline is no issue
- Speed camera database (free)
- In general highly configureable

- Mapfactor:
- The OSM maps wont show back roads until at VERY high level of zoom. Trying to see it that is fixable in settings.
- If not you can purchase the TomTom maps for it in app
