Turning cues/text on Garmin GPS shown as Path instead of street name
Ive been fairly happy with the following:
GPS: Garmin Edge 810
Maps: Ive been using are OpenStreetMap (OSM)
Route creator: Ride With GPS (RWGPS)
Im not entirely sure what RideWithGPS.com (RWGPS) did with their offerings, but I believe the now free version has even fewer features, so maybe that is where this problem in part lies (I was told essentially their Basic subscription service offers a feature where the cues do not change)so there would be some incentive to cause some sort of disruption on their partthis is beyond my technical knowledge. It just seems odd that a basic but essential aspect of this technology could find a way to mess up. Granted, there are three parties here--Garmin, RWGPS and OSM.
The problem:
Ive typically been riding routes where I know where Im going for the most part, so Ive not paid close attention. Ive grown frustrated enough that Ive decided to look into it as its been a problem for at least a year or so.

The problem:
- I will create a route (typically export as a .TCX) on RWGPS. No problems there. The cuesheet on the website will be good.
- When I am riding though, I will notice the turning cues/text will display Right onto Path or Left onto Path instead of using the street name in some cases.
