Edit Routes have changes take on GPS device

I'm a little lost on editing routes.

I plug my Garmin 1490LMT into my Mac and in BaseCamp I click on the Garmin and make a new route.

If I later edit the route or add something it doesn't get saved to the Garmin. What am I doing wrong.

I tried send map to device or whatever and selected routes. Drag and dropping and nothing works.

I would think since I have the Garmin highlighted in the left column any changes made would be made immediately. Am I wrong on that?

Then its confusing on the Garmin because no routes were showing. I had to go under my data and import routes.

Think the whole process could be a little easier with syncing.
