Just completed an 18 hundred mile trip. While on the trip, I noticed that on a number instances when coming back on to the Interstate from a fuel or rest stop, that my Garmin seemed confused. The map would show the proper route, and the proper way to turn. The voice direction would tell me to go in the opposite direction.
Has anyone else experienced this confussion?

Yes.
Garmin's latest code sucks. You have been annointed as an official tester for Garmin's software.
Tomorrow morning call up their support line, spend an hour or two listening to the 'we value your business' messages, then tell a non-caring CSR about your experience - and then do the recommended 'master reset' of your device, just so you can lose your data.
You will be left with a vaguely satisfied feeling until it does it to you again.

Wrong direction
I was stopping at a motel off US95 in South Carolina, the address was correct in the GPS but when getting off on the exit, it told me to go the wrong way. I don't know if the state changed the addresses around. I am going to Clinton Il next week and booked a motel on line. When I looked it up on Google Earth it showed a empty field.
When I called the motel about the wrong address, they tod me it would not work in a gps or Google earth. It seems the state just changed all the addreses on that road.
Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things!

Went back and looked at this previous post. As with others, my errors occurred only on the first turn, and, after the GPS had been off.
destination on wrong side

I have had the situation where the GPS showed the destination on the wrong side.
