Did it show both the rhumb line and Great Circle or did it show the rhumb line but follow a Great Circle? I was just playing with a Garmin unit that was still on the shelf of our local Boaters World and it only showed the rhumb line even though it was going to follow a Great Circle.

Just checked your suggested route in a most recent Garmin model (with chart
capability) and surprisingly it shows both the rumb line and the great
circle route. Garmin just confirmed me that all its recent models with
chart capabilities do the same.
