Importing maps

recently i went to mapquest and got a map from home to location x 300 miles away. After making adjustment to the map so that it showed the route that was the one i wanted to drive i saved it as 'HOME TO X Location' and then sent it ( not way points but the map)to my Garmin 1450. I them imported that map to my favorites.

Once on the road i turned on the garmin and the MAP i had imported had somehow gotten changed by the Garmin. Meaning that it now had me taking service roads and thru AUSTIN when the map i had modified showed my trip route to be on the Austin bypass.

How in the world does one go about creating a map and then importing it without it being changed by the Garmin?
It is as if the Garmin has a mind of its own.
