My Ford Magellan GPS likes to lead me astray too. So, I back up all instructions from it with a good roadmap (which almost defeats the purpose). But, since it tells me well in advance the direction of turn and what I'm going to be turning onto, it's an easy thing to check on BEFORE I get to the turn. If the instructions are correct, it's very helpful to know that I need to "keep to the right", or whatever, before a turnoff to a new road, especially when pulling the trailer.
The Garmin is a hiking GPS. I've never found it to be in error. You could use this as a driving GPS, but it has no voice commands and the screen is too small.
