Auto rerouting.   To quote my Garmin  "Recalculating...." and off we go with a modified route.

I don't know what you mean my multi-modal navigation. Is it that the device can use dead reckoning if it loses the GPS signal?    I think the newest TomTom can do that.

Hi,
        In my opinion, the multi-modal navigation system is an important part while you are driving. It helps you navigate through various means and reach your destination quite easily if you are new at the location.
