I don't know of any work-arounds that would help you. And I sure understand your frustration. Every time we use the GPS (which is every time we travel) we can't believe how un-technologically advanced they are.We should be able to talk to it and tell it things

Don't tell me when there is a large interchange ahead that I don't want to go on.
We'd really like to stay on the road along the lake even if we could save 1 minute by taking a different road.
We're pulling into a gas station, so don't worry your pretty little head about recalculating.
I have a TomTom and I CAN talk to it and she understands me!
I tell here where I want to go, she programs the route. No pushing tiny little buttons entering all the info! :B
Mine never offers alternate routes. Could it be you all with Garmins are not programming it properly to provide a designated route?
They ONLY time mine recalculates is if "I" alter from the programmed route. Which I like a lot because if I change how I am going I don't want to have to stop and reprogram it into the unit....it recognizes that "I" alter the route and recalculates my trip based on what I have done. Especially good for accidents, detours, construction,etc.
Sure glad I bought a TomTom. :C
