Dear all,
I use open street maps on my Garmin. I have detected a bad error when using it. When I drive along A5 from Nuwaraeliya to Badulla, navigator doesn't give any instructions till Haliela. Just says drive for this much of kilometers at the beginning. At each junctions it keeps quiet and only shows visually where to go. If anyone of you have driven in a foriegn country with Garmin you will agree this is wrong. How to correct this error?
Is there any way to update a Sala prosat without having to go to Colpitty? I saw your instructions to update a Navitel navigator. To add that nm3 file to the maps folder. Navitel Sala prosat doesn't have a maps folder and it uses lot of small nm2 files. Any idea?

Dear Anura, I also use a Garmin device with Openstreetmap. I have also encountered some unrealistic situations when traveling. One of the main issues is it doesn't show the total distance when traveling a long journey via several junctions (Say, Colombo to Medirigiriya) . It shows less distance upto a certain point and then keep refreshing after each junction instead. I think this would be either incompatibility between Garmin OS and non-proprietary maps or errors we do when drawing them  . By the way, how is the experience in driving in a foreign country with the same setup? |

I think we don't have problem in drowning. Because all other navigation software doesn't have this issue. I can verify about geonet and 7ways. I think navitel also works fine .we can check navitel from sadeepa or saman

Thanks for the replies.
As you said garmin nuvi dosn't show the total distance while driving. It shows only the distance to our next "action". This is the usual story. As you know estimated time of arrival is shown.
If we want to see the distance have to start from the begining. Before pressing "go" the distance is seen as a pop up box.
When driving 10% above the speed limit it used to ring an alarm. It was not heard here yet.
Also it gave a big warning alarm when there were close by speed cameras..

Dear all,
I accidentally deleted and saved great western forest reserve. I will draw it by looing at a downloaded map. But is there a way to redo it?

Thank you for both Anura and Thilina for declaring the error and correcting it soon. This should be the best usage and the practice of this forum.
