"Software" and "programming" are the same thing.
Keep in mind that I'm talking about navigation. There can be cases of the "turn guidance" not working.
On the Touring (from my experience), the "turn guidance" would stop working fairly regularly. That wouldn't be so bad if you could restart the navigation. But (from my experience), the navigation would get stuck at the beginning of the course. You could still follow the magenta line (so it wasn't a complete disaster).
The issues appear to be more related to software issues. It appears that it can take Garmin a while to fix things.

It seems that newer units have more issues. The 810 should be reasonably OK (but I don't have enough experience say that it is).

You should probably talk to Garmin about this. I'm stuck providing advice on the way things
are (rather than the way the should be but aren't).
