My Magellen used to tell me “calculating route” when I went a different way than it suggested. It no longer does that. I just completed a 900 mile road trip and didn’t hear it once. I’m guessing they have changed the programming on their server so that this no longer happens. To be honest, I don’t miss it at all! It was annoying to get off of the highway for ice cream and have this thing blabbing at me for no reason. I also don’t miss “make a uturn ASAP”. That was annoying too (although sometimes accurate!).

Wellspring…mine is 8 years old. There have been a few trips I’ve been on where great bypass roads have been constructed in the last 8 years…but my GPS didn’t know about them. My next GPS will have free lifetime updates.
