Likewise, I've added a few speed cameras around Canberra, and they're invisible. My Garmin Nuvi doesn't recognise them either. I strongly suspect that there's something proprietary about Garmin's own speed camera data, (where or how it's stored in the GPS). It is after all a Garmin "separately-priced product". > The relevant map is: > http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-31.76424&lon=150.83552&zoom=15 > <http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-31.76424&lon=150.83552&zoom=15> > > The speed camera is just north of the Pages River Caravan Park (very > nice park, we can recommend it to visitors).

Likewise for waterway=waterfall and a host of other things. If appropriate, giving a POI a name and adding the tourism=attraction tag will render it at high zoom levels.
