In my experience gosmore doesn't care at all about the names of the streets except for displaying them and searching for them. I've certainly never had a problem with gosmore routing not recognising a roundabout because it was unnamed.
If someone can show me an example (a osm map link will do - preferably in QLD as I already have the gosmore file) of a roundabout that causes this problem, and I'll look into fixing the bug in gosmore. - David Stephen Hope wrote: > > This is most definitely a problem with Gosmore.
