Re: Garmin Drive to Garmin XT issues

It's not a excessive route point issue, there are only two: Home/Start and Crows Foot.
Basecamp shows the track OK, but the route is displayed as a straight line between the two points until it is recalculated.
Transferred the .gpx to my phone via email, opened with Drive, and sent to the XT, the route calculated on import. With my preferences and the City Navigator 2024.1 map, both the XT and BC are following 401, 8, and 85 instead of the smaller roads used by the track.
Converting the track to a Trip on the XT, I received a warning: "The track violates routing restrictions for driving on roads. Calculate an alternate route to avoid restrictions?" If I select No, the result matches the track. Selecting Yes abandons the track completely and uses the 401,8, and 85 route.
I don't know if that warning is because of a map mis-match, or routing the wrong direction on a one-way road, or ???
I did delete all trace of the route fro my XT and try to import the gpx via USB and File Explorer. It did fail several times, the calculation freezing at either 0% or 87%.
I don't think Drive processes or changes gpx file in any way, it just transfers the file to the XT. I think any problems will be found in the map differences or the MRA gpx.
What's up with the diversion in Fergus, crossing the river twice? Construction detour?
