Dear osm-ph gamin users, I posted this issue in the mkgmap list (the compiler we use for the garmin maps). The best way to solve this is to remove abbreviations in the map. Rally also indicated a way to resolve this by creating a custom textospeech correction to garmin devices with this capability.
May we request users to report such errors? Just send the bug reports to me or in the osm-ph garmin trac.

Using nuvi text-to-speech feature, some abbreviated street names are announced with some kind of default words. i. e., - "St. Thomas" which should be "Saint Thomas" was announced as "Street Thomas" - "E. Rodriguez" which should be "Eulogio Rodriguez "was announced as "East Rodriguez" -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
