<div>Okay,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So </div>
<div>I followed the instructions about contructing the GMAPSUPP.IMG file - no problem.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the gps I press the Find key and select Adresses, start entering in the street name, which the unit finds and I select then scroll to the Enter City box Enter and this brings up all the Cities - but just about all of them are listed as being in VIC.</div>
<div>Have opened the same file in Mapedit and confirmed that that almost all of the cities are listed as being in VIC.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks</div>
<div>Gavin</div>

<br>After you've downloaded this file, you can unzip it, then rename<br>the file to: GMAPSUPP.IMG and place the file within the GARMIN<br>folder on your garmin gps unit. (You can combine multiple IMG<br>files into one big IMG file using some other tools if need be).<br>
Once that's done, you should have a lot of the OSM details and<br>roads on your garmin unit.<br><br>What do you mean by "most addresses in my GPS 6ocsx assigned the<br>state of Vic - when they should be NSW" ?<br>
Could you be more specific - what do you mean by addresses? -<br>Road names? and how are they assigned the state?<br><br>- Rhubarb<br>--<br><br><br>Message: 4<br>Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2009 15:06:55 +1000<br>From: <a href="mailto:b.schulz.10@scu.edu.au">b.schulz.10@scu.edu.au</a><br>

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<br><br>I've had the same issue. When searching for cities or suburbs it will come up with results such as "Newcastle, VIC" "Newtown, VIC" etc.<br>
<br>I just switched on my Legend HCx and did a search for nearest cities. Currently I'm in Lismore and despite most of the results being in NSW it still came up with:<br><br>Bora Ridge, VIC 25.03km<br>Rileys Hill, VIC 26.38km<br>
Swan Bay, VIC 28.71km<br>*6 other results within 50km which are supposedly in Victoria*<br><br>There's probably a consistent pattern in there somewhere, about 70% of the results are shown correctly to be in NSW.<br><br>
