[BaseCamp] GPS Not Following Computer Route

[Carroll]

Well, since I wrote that last message to you,  I solved the problem.
Someone said that the GPS would build the route again when I transferred the
route/waypoints and info into the GPS.  I did some testing and this was
right, it seems the GPS must build the route again when you download the
route/info to the GPS.  It seemed that I was not forcing the GPS to
recalculate the route before I started using it.  If I did not recalculate
the route when I downloaded it into the GPS, the route looked exactly like
the route in the computer/BaseCamp.  If I recalculated it, then I saw the
changes that I was seeing when I used it.  The fastest route in the computer
was not the fastest route calculated by the GPS, close but no cigar!!  One
shaping point and the world is all good again....!
