I've had the same issue. When searching for cities or suburbs it will come up
with results such as Newcastle, VIC Newtown, VIC etc.
I just switched on my Legend HCx and did a search for nearest cities. Currently
I'm in Lismore and despite most of the results being in NSW it still came up
with:
Bora Ridge, VIC 25.03km
Rileys Hill, VIC 26.38km
Swan Bay, VIC 28.71km
*6 other results within 50km which are supposedly in Victoria*
There's probably a consistent pattern in there somewhere, about 70% of the
results are shown correctly to be in NSW.

Any reason for this?
I've just downloaded the routable dataset for NSW on my garmin
unit (etrex vista HCx) and it works fine for me.
Did you download
http://www.osmaustralia.org/garminroute/AU/NSW_route.img.zip ?
After you've downloaded this file, you can unzip it, then rename
the file to: GMAPSUPP.IMG and place the file within the GARMIN
folder on your garmin gps unit. (You can combine multiple IMG
files into one big IMG file using some other tools if need be).
Once that's done, you should have a lot of the OSM details and
roads on your garmin unit.
What do you mean by most addresses in my GPS 6ocsx assigned the
state of Vic - when they should be NSW ?
Could you be more specific - what do you mean by addresses? -
Road names? and how are they assigned the state?
