No. You must follow the flight plan just as if you were regular IFR.
Slight deviations for cloud clearance are OK. If you want a different
route then you must ask for and receive a new clearance.


IFR "VFR on top" routing remains the same but you fly at VFR altitudes
(cardinal altitude plus 500) of your choice while remaining in VMC.
