In short, an alert that a route has been recalculated tells the driver that it’s OK to stop ignoring obsolete directions.
Notification that a route has been recalculated is useful because, when a driver decides to take a different route (for whatever reason, including, as often happens, making a stop not in the planned route on the PND), it lets the driver know that the unit has stopped trying to direct you back to the old route (directions that need to be ignored; i.e.: a series of directions that may eventually culminate with “when safe, make a U-Turn”), and has is now giving directions for the revised route that the driver should follow.

Part of this is not just processor speed, but how the software works. Some units and mobile apps seem to persist on staying with the original route longer than others in certain circumstances. A recent example I noticed was when I compared Navigon MobileNavigator (Android) to TomTom (Android). When I threw an curve ball at both of them by intentionally going the opposite direction from the route on a point on an outer road that was almost exactly mid-way between two freeway entrances, Navigon revised the route much faster than TomTom, which persisted in trying to get me to make turns that would eventually lead to a U-turn (thought it doesn’t say “U-Turn” until after the first turn). I would expect their hardware PNDs are probably similar.

The facts are not just about the starting salary of the graduates of the program, the admission cut off point or even one’s general impression. Facts are experiences.

Read their textbooks in the library or watch some similar online course videos. Be honest with your feelings.
