Why Does Mapquest Seem To Have Better Routes Than My Garmin Nuvi Navigator?

I live in the Maryland suburbs of DC. When I drive to and from DC, Mapquest almost always has faster directions than my Garmin (except when the directions are the same).
Does Mapquest take stop signs and stop lights into account, while the nuvi doesn’t? The nuvi is great for finding an alternate route if a highway has a mess, but generally the routes into and from DC have taken considerably longer than expected.
Has anyone else seen similar results?
Thanks.

You need a program that can read the data from your etrex and create a gpx file.
Garmin’s Mapsource will work well and will let you edit the track before you create the file.
Easy GPS (www.easygps.com/) will also work and is free.
Edit your track appropriately, add waypoints, etc and save the GPX file.
Go to the GPS visualizer web site (http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_inp… and convert the GPX file to a KML file.
Go to your My Maps on Google Maps and upload the KML file.
You can then edit the colors, waypoint markers, and the routes on your map page.
