hi @Nicholas-Turner
I have pointed a few people in the direction of the thread below,sometimes when you export a planned route it may not be the same as originally planned. the device in question will change the route, to what it believes is the better route according to your settings. this can be the same when using basecamp.
until recently when I found out this info, I would be riding a route and think to myself, I am sure I didn't plan to come this wayMRA have solved this problem in part by using 1.2gpx, I will not try to explain for fear of getting it wrong.
these threads will help a lot

@Jack-van-Tilburg Hi thanks for getting back to me yes to your question its all converted but the system will not follow the route..

@Nicholas-Turner No problems here with Nav5. Perhaps change the settings of your Nav5? I allways use: schortest route, no dirt roads, -toll, -seasonal road closures etc.
In other words, navigate as is. -

There is one setting important: you need to disable recalculation!
