I've had the same issue. When searching for cities or suburbs it will come up with results such as "Newcastle, VIC" "Newtown, VIC" etc.
I just switched on my Legend HCx and did a search for nearest cities. Currently I'm in Lismore and despite most of the results being in NSW it still came up with: Bora Ridge, VIC 25.03km Rileys Hill, VIC 26.38km Swan Bay, VIC 28.71km *6 other results within 50km which are supposedly in Victoria* There's probably a consistent pattern in there somewhere, about 70% of the results are shown correctly to be in NSW. ----- Original Message ----- From: cam_...@fastmail.fm Date: Sunday, August 16, 2009 2:22 pm Subject: Re: [talk-au] Talk-au Digest, Vol 26, Issue 48 To: talk-au@openstreetmap.org > On Sun, 2009-08-16 at 09:20 +0700, Denise or Gavin wrote: > I have downloaded the NSW routable map from > http://www.osmaustralia.org/garminroute.php only to find most > addresses in my GPS 6ocsx assigned the state of Vic - when they > should be NSW. > > > > Any reason for this? > > > > > > I've just downloaded the routable dataset for NSW on my garmin > unit (etrex vista HCx) and it works fine for me. > Did you download > http://www.osmaustralia.org/garminroute/AU/NSW_route.img.zip ? > > After you've downloaded this file, you can unzip it, then rename > the file to: GMAPSUPP.IMG and place the file within the GARMIN > folder on your garmin gps unit.
