C580 Hates Unpaved Roads

I like dirt roads and we have quite a few around here. Many are in great condition and even allow fairly high speeds. They make for great drives off the beaten, paved path.
I have a Garmin C580, updated.
The problem I am having is that when I uncheck unpaved roads in avoidances, it reverts back to being checked when I turn the unit back on. This happens whether I have fastest time or shortest distance checked.
I have a 4x4 truck... why doesn't Garmin want me to drive in the dirt!? Any help would be appreciated.

That happened to me before
That happened to me before and I just did a reset and that worked for me.

No Luck
I tried the reset (twice) but the problem remains. I was going to call Garmin for a copy of Mapsource anyway, so I'll kill two birds with one phone call.

Gravel roads
I had the reverse problem, my 680 put me onto gravel evan though I have checked to avoid them.

This change was intentional...
...when I uncheck unpaved roads in avoidances, it reverts back to being checked when I turn the unit back on.
but I don't know why they think C5xx owners want to avoid unpaved roads and Nüvi owners don't !!

Near the bottom, it says:
Changes made from version 5.20 to 5.30:

.Set default avoidance setting for unpaved roads

Fix coming soon
I just got off the phone with Garmin. They say it's a known issue and it was not intended to work that way. It should be fixed in the next update.

The same reason why C5xx users don't want to go off road and Nuvi users do...lol
