^COMPLETE NOOBIE HERE!*
i just set up a route using google maps and the google maps site said the miles was 396 to the destination when i sent to the Nuvi, and i looked it up in "favorites" it said the mileage was 336 miles???
i deleted it and tried it 2 more times with the same results
how can it tell if the route that loaded into the Garmin is the one that i custom made in Google maps??

If you have a nuvi 1300 as your subject line says, I don't think your unit supports imported routes. In any case no nuvi' can import a route directly from Google maps.
It is not uncommon for the nuvi to create a different route than Google using the same start point and destination. If you want to alter the route created by the nuvi, you will need to add via points
Alan - Android Auto, DriveLuxe 51LMT-S, DriveLuxe 50LMTHD, Nuvi 3597LMTHD, Oregon 550T, Nuvi 855, Nuvi 755T, Lowrance Endura Sierra, Bosch Nyon
because
Until you tell the unit to GO and it plans a route it shows the air miles. If you told it to GO, then the routes are different. Different routing engines, different road selection.

thanks for the replies, i
thanks for the replies, i went to favorites and chose the destination that loaded and hit :go: and the miles changed to the correct mileage for the route i chose i then touched the top of the screen and hit "view map" and it actually showed me the route and it does show my route. i got the hint from the tips and tricks website something that the owners manual did not mention i could do...
