Many GPS have the option to turn off "off road, gravel road" etc. But sometimes even with those options turned off, you get some weird directions. For that reason, I have a paper map right beside me so I can double check any dubious instructions.
And turning off those options isn't always possible as many campgrounds can only be accessed via unpaved roads. My suggestion to Garmin is that they have the device provide a warning at the beginning that the route includes an unpaved or off road section. I went 45+ miles before I found out the only route it gave me included off road - had I known that at the beginning, I never would have followed it.
