[QUOTE="SLK50, post: 1296675, member: 4790"] Whenever I hear comments like Uncle Hud's re Garmin GPS I can't help but think if a little time was spent with the operator's manual setting up rider preferences that incidents like his would be greatly reduced. Garmin's algorithm is adaptive and can be "tweaked" to rider preferences by selecting custom settings instead of relying on defaults. His example of exit and re-enter occurred because it defaulted to "shortest distance" without any other considerations. I've setup mine to favor tertiary roads and avoid highways most of the time. Like any device, it's only as good as the operator. Like my wallet, phone and sunglasses I never leave home without my GPS, but I don't blame it for my errors. [/QUOTE]
