Another screwed up route after a skip!

I am posting solely to vent about another screwed up route after skipping a via point. I created a 121 mile route yesterday for a ride today with my wife. The route included a left turn in a sweeping curve to the right. The XT did not identify it as a left (on a map it looks almost straight but it is a different road). Of course I missed it which resulted in cutting off a few miles of the route in which their was a via point. Skipping that via point resulted in numerous changes to the remaining route. Luckily I had the track of the route on the map. The recalc of the remaining route after a skip behavior has really gotten old. No surprisingly, the recalc emphasized faster roads, going out of the way to get on them. The recalc route would not have resulted in faster time. If frustrated the heck out of my wife who was hearing voice navigation instructions that I wasn't following. Time to turn voice navigation back off!

Thanks for listening.
