Oh, that would seem to be applicable for a scenario where you have a 
grid of highway=residential, and among them a main road (say, 
highway=tertiary) that is going like zig-zag within the grid. Could it 
be that Garmin is not issuing a turn instruction in this case, when the 
main road consists of a single object (with a sharp turn in it)?

AFAIR, there was another option for implementing support for 
through_route relations, in a case where a main road goes zig-zag 
through a village. Is it still present in the code base? Maybe it makes 
this case of --adjust-turn-headings redundant?
