Both of my Garmins (GPSmap 76CSx and Nuvi 1350) have displayed this problem with the coastline and OSM maps for a while. I first noticed it about 4-6 weeks ago, but it could have been there for much longer without my noticing. I'll be downloading the Oceania file from http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/australia-oceania.osm.bz2 tomorrow morning and making a new Garmin map from it. I'll report back on the status of the coastline anomaly. John H _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
