Arriving at points whilst following a route on road/pedestrian

When I arrive at the next point of my route I have to zoom out to see where I’m heading next, although I have reached the previous point my unit refuses to believe I have been there and continues to point me back in the direction of the point I have just passed, this is not a problem when off road as you can set transitions.
Anyone else experience this?

What GPS model do you have and how do you create the route?
