i've had two garmins and i must say my old hard-drive based 2620 never did that weird on/off routing. the new 1390 does. from threads here i think every brand of GPS has its quirks. Garmin for me is the devil you know so i stick with it.
for quick trips around town i use my iPhone now. it's not always accurate though i am using the free apps - the included one, MapQuest for Mobile, and NavFree. i'm taking a trip this week that will have me driving milwaukee-madison-chicago-milwaukee. i may just rely on the iPhone as i know that route pretty well anyway and would have printed google maps as a back up.
