Regrettably it seems permanently activated when using the Connect route planning function, so I defer to RWGPS when planning a ride.
Yes, one time Garmin had me riding up a climb underneath a freeway bridge that 's WAY overhead, then magically CROSSING that bridge before falling back down onto the road beneath.

Luckily, the fall didn't kill me.
