Thank you for contacting Garmin.
It appears that
you downloaded both the saved route and the active route.
When a route is save the GPS selects the best 30 waypoints.
That is why one route is shorter than the other and is slightly
different.
I recommend deleting the saved route and down loading the
log since it will be more accurate.
Thank you and best Regards,
Frank Brzozowski

The right explanation is: the PilotIII save the simulation trip and real trip in the same
TRK file. On the plot is no difference; only the text makes it possible to distinguish them.
The track Log must be deleted before departure, to avoid fantoms tracks.
Simulation one day before the flight:
