Mine worked fine. It just prompted me to recalculate my custom routes that were done on different map versions. I let it but it takes forever. Inconvenient timing in my case, so I would recommend just wiping everything out of your gps after saving it in base camp and let your computer do the heavy calculating after doing the map update then load the routes or tracks you want back onto the gps.
I gave up on auto routing. I create my route in Basecamp. If I come to a spot where the program won't route a particular road, I stop the route. Create a new route from the closest spot where it will route and continue the route. When I get it all laid out the way I want, I convert all the pieces to tracks. I then use the track tool to fill in any gaps between the route pieces, like over non routeable roads/trails. Then I take all the pieces and combine them into one track file. THAT is what I copy over to my GPS and use for navigation. All I need to see is the line on the map so I can tell if I am still near it or have gone off the reservation. I don't need it telling me when to turn, which way to turn, etc,... The only slight inconvenience is that I lose the "distance to next waypoint" or "Distance to destination". But really, even that is no big deal. I can usually let the GPS create a route on the fly from where I am to a point of interest, unless there are non routeable sections between me and the point of interest. I can even do this while the track is displayed on my map. Moreover, if I share it, other people can see exactly where the route is supposed to go so they can tweak their own routes as needed to match it for their maps, software, and GPS unit.
