I have found the admin boundaries (suburbs were giving me the most grief) are really misleading for navigation too, particularly on smaller screens as Liz mentioned.
I prefer to grab the ones from here osmaustralia.org as I don't have time to build my own. So when he does fix it, it will be appreciated. Maybe he could filter out private pools while he is at it. :-) Cheers, Greg On 24 February 2010 10:25, Steve Bennett <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 8:57 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > I used my garmin oregon 550 in the car on the way to Canberra yesterday. > > Messed up a bit because i hadn't put a routable map on it, so had Navit > on > > the netbook on the passengers seat to assist me. > > However I noted that the OSM map on the Garmin clearly shows the admin > > boundaries with names - I was seeing the postcode or suburb boundaries > > (not sure which).
