Exactly what I was looking for. The Garmin manual gives a short mention of route shaping, which begs for more information ... so I turned to TH-cam! This is probably the best instruction video (out of many hundreds) I have watched. Thank You
Great tutorial and just what I was wanting to do. Question... if you then want to take this new saved route back the way you came is there a "reverse this saved route and save it as a new route" option or do you need to repeat all the steps now going in the other direction to get back to your starting point?
You can't reverse a route shape but you can manually adjust the order (including reversing them) of stops. The process is almost the same as shaping. Edit a route, Stop (white/flag button), touch route, Insert, add stop. The difference is that for every additional stop, you have to touch the route again and Insert whereas with Shaping you don't have to. Once finished, copy the route, edit and reverse the order of stops.

I also have a faster way here for another way to go about it th-cam.com/video/irVJrbpBPVY/w-d-xo.html
