Well, the zumo 550 (which is very certainly a somewhat roughetized nuvi) has no "snap to road" setting (it has not a lot of options in that regard at all). I did made experiments with the track log. Some of the tracks did *suspiciously* looked like a snap to road while others did not. So if its useable for OSM or not - I don't know and care (I'm still using my WBT201 for tracking which has no maps :-). @Stephen: Instead of "For my specific device (not a Zumo)" it might be a lot more helpful if you would tell us what your "specific device" really is!
