I have noticed that the slash, plus all following text, is mostly
suppressed on my Nuvi 2795. The official Garmin maps manage to use a
slash between multiple refs and destinations - maybe they are escaping
it in some way? Looking at the same file with BaseCamp shows that the
full text is present in the map file, so the problem is (at least
partially) with the device and how it handles the strings. 

In the past I remember it working on my old 255W, although the spoken
instructions stopped at the slash, so "A1/M2 Destination" would be read
out as "A1" only.
