Default MapQuest and Garmin Nuvi 760

Believe it or not MapQuest routes are better than working with the Garmin. I'm not having any luck downloading the routes to my Garmin. Anybody have any suggestions?

Trying to route from North East Maryland to Harpers Ferry. With avoiding highways and tolls it still sends me down I95 and around the 695 beltway. MapQuest very easily gives me the back roads route and I'm trying to transfer that route to my GPS. When following the directions to do this the GPS goes into an endless loop.

I use BaseCamp to do all my route planning for my Garmin. Once you get used to Basecamp, it is really easy to plan routes.
