This isn't so much a Garmin issue as an issue in how you convert OSM to Garmin. Presumably you're downloading the converted maps from http://osmaustralia.org/downloads.php . Now, I've talked to Matt White about that issue (and a few others - notably buildings don't render), and he knows and agrees, and has sent me the relevant files to fix, but neither of us has had the time to do anything about it. I'm very interested in improving this stuff, but just can't find the time atm. Anyway, try giving Matt a buzz ([email protected]) and maybe he can help.
