Recalculate Problems

I have a Nuvi 40 LM and everytime I change a road it refuses to recalculate I go to Knoxville alot where I live there are 2 ways to get there and I take the one that it refuses to calculate that way no matter how far we go that way it wants us to turn around and go back even after 40 miles it still wants to go that way is there somrthing I can change in the settings that will change that I know that the other way seems shorter but it is not due to the Dragons Tail and the speed I do have another gps that will recalculate after we get through murphy and takes us the other way

Unfortunately that's a common issue with a lot of GPS devices. The only thing you can really do is cancel the guidance and start it again. It should recalculate a new route then.
