I'm pretty sure my Garmin has the 'follow the planned route precisely' option, which is useful when it doesn't know about the paths. When you're off course it sends you back to the nearest part of the route as the crow flies (i.e. ignoring all ways), if I remember correctly. I think that's also what osmand does if you wander off across a field and aren't near any ways.
