Why are GPS units so much trouble.
I bought a Garmin Nuvi 5 or so years ago that worked most of the time,but occasionally went beserk.On our Christmas trip to South Carolina,it routed us one way going south and another way going north....

As mentioned above, be sure to set your "Avoid" options. I allow U-Turn and Ferries (Janet loves Ferries!) but I avoid HOV lanes and Dirt Roads.
Doing this helps a lot but I frequently get completely different routings going and coming. I scratch my head and follow "whatever" route if I am in my van but I ignore anything I don't like if I am in my RV. I use the GPS to keep me informed when driving an RV but I never use a GPS to plan a route to follow blindly. I will sometimes put an origin and destination so see what it thinks but I often just giggle and think "I am not doing that!".
