I run into weird glitches with my Garmin all the time. Some of them would have got me lost if I didn't know where I was going already.

Susan has a Garmin as well, though hers is older and does not have lifetime updated maps (so her database is 18-24 months old), whereas as mine is up-to-date. We took both of them with us one day (out of curiosity) and occasionally got different directions in a couple of places.

On mine, when I am traveling south on the 57 approaching the 91, it wants me to head towards "CA 91 / CA 52" (this accommodates not getting on the 91 W HOA transition) before telling me to stay on CA 57 South.
