Tracks to Routes Confusion

Hi folks.

Can someone explain to me why there is a difference between a copied track (someone else's GPS track) and the route that BaseCamp translates it into? I'm getting major discrepancies here.

In the attached image, the green is the track I want to follow. I chose to make a route out of it (apparently that's what I need to do) and it got translated to the pink route. Quite confusing, that pink route.

Am I doing something wrong? Any insight appreciated.

Cheers

OK, that should be it. I'll keep that in mind in the future. Garmin, if you are reading, might want to qualify European highways.

Garmin had time for years and it is still deficient.:rolleyes:

Wanna have it too!!!

I was thinking about this yesterday while on the road. These N-routes are essentially our secondary highways in Canada. I still find it strange that I can bike on these highways, but they are essentially the bloodstream of the country.
