[mkgmap-dev] announced streets are wrong for abbreviated street names on nuvi

Mon Dec 20 03:25:31 GMT 2010

Not exactly an mkgmap issue, but I would like to point this out when
mapping for OSM.  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"
