One of the problems I have with my Garmin is if you go off course, it will continue to ask you to backtrack thinking you're lost. Now maybe you want to be off-course on purpose but I'll find that it will start to re-route you eventually but I would like to control this feature if possible. I don't like to back track and prefer it re-route all the time.
My GPS is getting very old (5 year or more) and it's possible the new ones have faster re-routing capabilities. However, I still hear from new users that come across this problem.
