Yes! Indeed there is an issue with this. I hadn't searched for cities before on my Garmin unit :P Ok, I havn't done that much of a comparison of OSM town name POI tags, and what the Garmin unit's find cities tool brings up. But there's a small chance it could be the "is_in" tag (not is_in:country tags). It could also be a small bug with mkgmap http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/index.html which would be the tool that's being used to convert the OSM data into Garmin's IMG format. - In which case it might be good idea to file a bug with a little research to make it easier for the auther of mkgmap to re-create the bug. It's not a feature I'd use that much, but still, it would be handy if you're actually trying to find something - rather than in my case, to simply tell me if a road exists and if so does it have a name - so I can survey it and clean it up :P - Rhubarb On Sun, 2009-08-16 at 15:06 +1000, [email protected] wrote: I've had the same issue.
