[BaseCamp] route not following roads

[saddle sore]

I continued googling my issue in search of an answer.  I found something
close, and tried what those folks posted.  It worked!!

Problem solved by rotating the compass on the BaseCamp map so that North
was where East use to be.  Then, rotated it back to where it belongs.  I
don't understand what that did, exactly, but it fixed my issue.  The route
which I created by connecting waypoint dots now lays exactly on top of the
roads, rather than just off the roads like a shadow.

Back to route planning!!
