Garmin GPS keeps taking us off main route
I'm not sure if this just started with the latest update or if it has always done it with certain roads. We just got the new GPS (Nuvi 67) at the beginning of the year so we could add a backup camera ...

I always plan my trip with Garmin BaseCamp. This way I can check that I am following the roads I want to . I then transfer the "route I have approved" to my old Garmin Streetpilot 2720. Love it.
Remember that the GPS is only doing what some software programer in India told it to do.
On a recent trip I had my SP2720 with update maps, the TV had a built in TomTom (?) and my DD was using her smartphone with Google maps. It was very interesting to see the different directions the three GPS told us to take.
