Thanks for the patch, it didn't really work but was a good starting
place. I have just posted a revamped version which, for me, fills the
city info as required. Obviously, it needs to be widely tested.

As I don't know anything about the Nuvi, I can't help you. Sorry.

GPSMapEdit, I think pays no attention to the address data. I have
checked with maps produced by cgpsmapper, they don't seem to show it
either.

The HW exit stuff is sad. I have wasted so many hours on trying to make
the OSM exits be shown in preference to the basemap exits that I don't
want to look at that code any more!

Cheers,

Mark
