Hi list, As I was biking around with my brand new, (only €66) Nuvi 205, I noticed that, while the regular map says "Ga. Aan Boord. Veerboot.", the mkgmap made map just lets you drive straight into the water. Maybe there's something special about a ferry terminal point? The map shows the ferry line all right and it routes over it, so that's not the problem. Also, when simulating the journey, there's a boat sign on the Nüvi (where you normally have the arrows telling you how to turn), while the OSM map just shows an arrow telling you where the next turn is (on the other side of the water). An interesting detail is, that the Nüvi, in simulation mode, will wait for the ferry to leave, it just sits there, waiting for the virtual ferry to reach the virtual other side. This is both with the Garmin and the OSM map, and it means that the ferry *line* is interpreted as a ferry, so here the OSM map is all right. It's just the boarding itself that is lacking. Best regards, Valentijn

Hm... the default style for ferry routes is as follows: route=ferry [0x1a road_class=0 road_speed=0 resolution 18] Perhaps we need other attributes for this to work properly?
