Took a couple of vacations in Ireland recently and had a GPS each time that came with our rental car. We like to wander and take the back roads. We would set a destination and head that direction but would often get sidetracked and head off in a different direction. Both times the GPS units we had were very laid back and just calculated a different way to get there. Most units get pretty excited and tell you repeatedly to make a u-turn to get back on the original route.
Really liked those units. Perhaps it is an Irish thing.
