I've had it silently change the *destination* as well, when just selecting an address on-device and navigating to it.
I really can't make any sense of it, it's a clear and accurate address, works fine in Basecamp and on the Montana 700i, all with the same NT 2026.1 map.

The chosen address is "717 Divisadero St." and the Montana (and Basecamp, and google maps, and apple maps, etc...) all take you along Fulton St to Divisadero, then a left turn and half a block down to the destination.

The Zumo XT takes you along Fulton St, across Divisadero (the street the destination is actually on!) and has you turn left on a non-existent street mid-block it calls "Alley", and has moved the destination "717 Divisadero St." off Divisadeo St into some interior apartment block or sometihng.

There aren't even any avoidances enabled, routing style (Driving vs Motorcycle) makes no difference, and even manually adding the nonexistent "Alley" as an avoidance doesn't stop it from doing this. And it's not in the map, because the Montana and Basecamp work correctly.

Perplexing! But sadly as you said, it's also made me not really trust the Zumo for navigating places I don't already know my way around.
