The trend to add more and more fearures to electronic gadgets is a real pain, IMO.
I have a Garmin Nuvi and you basically have to do a royal flush of every stored parameter to simply clear the 'trail of bread crumbs'. The thing has so many modes that it is really annoying to use and there seems to be no way of turning unwanted features off. For example, if you simply want to pan the display, likely as not the address of where you touched will pop up. Furthermore, the positions are not reliable. If you are close too, but not on, a road, or are on the sidewalk going against traffic, like AutoCAD it will 'snap' to where it thinks you should be. Off road mode is better.
