What is the calculated route like? Is this way the first or last portion 
of the route, or is this the only way to the destination? If yes, then 
this could be a Garmin feature that has been mentioned quite a few times 
in the past. If the routing directions said "get out of the vehicle and 
walk", it would be less confusing.

Minko's explanation looks plausible too.

I don't think it will be long until Garmin gets obsoleted by some 
Android devices. The Edge series could almost have a replacement in the 
upcoming SonyEricsson Xperia Active, if the software options are 
satisfactory. The hardware sounds good: support for ANT+Sport sensors 
and a rugged, replaceable case. This is just an impression I got without 
having actually used any Android devices yet.

Best regards,
