Your BaseCamp map is out of date.
They have changed the junction, basically splitting what was one single junction into two.
Michelin’s map on MyRoute is also out of date:
And to think that people swear that you never need to update Garmin’s maps through download updates.

Cheers guys. looks like my basecamp does not have the latest map updates. I have checked Garmin express says I am up to date. Will have to see what what happens when I send route to device
Welcome.
It looks like they have put in an extra road, so that drivers can miss out les Larry. The worst that will happen is that you’ll be routed up the old road, before joining the N7 north, to the west of les Larry.
Here’s the new junction. It’s so new, it doesn’t seem to have a junction number, when the Google camera truck went past.
Here’s the old junction:
You’ll notice that the signage (places) is very different between each. The first (newly built) junction is clearly for vehicles going north. The original (older) junction, for vehicles travelling south.

Wapping to the rescue. Going to send to device in the morning see what happens
If you want to go north on the N7 towards Moulins / Nevers, take the new junction, which is basically how Google has routed you. MyRoute, routes you the same way. That’s the way I’d go, taking the ring road to the east of Moulins:
That being said, ViaMichelin’s website (whose map is up-to-date) suggests taking a junction earlier:
That is probably nothing more than a slight variation in the algorithm used by ViaMichelin and that used by Google / MyRoute.

So if I understand this, my basecamp / nav 5 map is up to date but sadly not as accurate as say google. It did cause problems last year, was trying to avoid this. Not very tec savvy. Is there a way to have a better map on basecamp / nav 5
What's the mapping you have on the PC in the Nav 5? That is CN EU ????.??
PC city navigator europe NTU 2021.1
Nav 5 city navigator europe NUT 2023.2
Nav 5 city navigator europe NUT 2023.2
2023.2 is latest, check the map drop down tab on your pc basecamp, if its not there, open garmin express and select manage maps/ install to pc
So I did that and its sent all my way point of the roads. next I optimized and still no better
It's usual to have the same maps on the PC as the GPS otherwise any routes calculated in Basecamp will be recalculated when they're opened up on the GPS.
Looking at my CN EU NTU 2023.2 the new roads are there, but not useable as the attributes aren't correct.

click options and install to computer.
Same on both then. when you open Bascamp on computer to construct a route make suer the map used is latest ( in dropdown box select right map)

Still doesn't cure basecamp maps not as accurate as google etc
By the look of that screenshot yerve still got 2021 running/ ticked. Alter that to the 2023 map
Youve missed the roads in the above example screenshot, you can move them, zoom in and move them on to the road, recalculate the routes, also look at changing most to shaping points rather than waypoints, theres a big difference.
