One point with BaseCamp - be sure you have the same "avoids" set in both the GPS & BaseCamp. With my Garmin 1490, it will recalculate the route when moved from BaseCamp to the GPS & the route will change if the "Avoids" are not the same. In fact, it sometimes changes the route even when set the same - it is worth checking that the transferred route is what you expected...
vermilye is correct about the GPS somethings changing the route. After I send the route to the GPS I check the route with BaseCamp. If the route is not correct I make the changes in BaseCamp and send the route again. There is a option in BaseCamp that allows you to change the route. I also use the view in Google Earth before I send any routes to the GPS.
