No reason you can't use both. If you happen to miss a cue-sheet turn, it can take a while to know you are off course and hard to return to the course. The Garmins can notify you very quickly that you are off course.

That could be one big thing but there were other problems that seem unusual. The recalculation doesn't really work at all when using an uploaded route.

I wonder what you want from it. They aren't "set and forget" devices, certainly.
