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 to it.
We traveled for thousands of miles down to Mississippi & Georgia - stopped at lots of CGs and sites without a problem.
Well, for our fall trip we stayed in PA going across Rt. 6. 6 is a minor highway - yellow on Google Maps. Many times the GPS would try to take us off 6 for what one would think would be a shortcut, but actually wasn't.
Here is one example:

The blue arrows are where the GPS wanted us to go, but when we ignored it and stayed on 6 the time recalculated to 5 minutes less.
Other times it would have saved us a minute (or none) to get off our main route and take a "shortcut".
DH is getting sick of me chiming in with "ignore the GPS"
Anyone familiar with this type of problem? Doesn't Garmin know we'd like to stay on our chosen route?
