In some cases, we tend to forget the coastline way direction rule "Left-side of the way direction should be land (or counterclockwise around the island) ". The garmin map compiler detects this and correct them accordingly in the local file.
You can then correct them in osm by looking at my debugging report: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/607635/osm-ph_gps_maps/latest/mkgmap.log.0.txt?dl You can see a lot of routing error reports. For coastline direction, simply search for the "anti-island" text similar to this one below: 2010/07/29 20:04:59 WARNING (Osm5XmlHandler): philippines.osm: Converting anti-island starting at http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=11.48024&mlon=119.65369&zoom=17 into an island as it is surrounded by water 2010/07/29 20:04:59 WARNING (Osm5XmlHandler): philippines.osm: Converting anti-island starting at http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=9.31636&mlon=117.94467&zoom=17 into an island as it is surrounded by water 2010/07/29 20:05:00 WARNING (Osm5XmlHandler): philippines.osm: Converting anti-island starting at http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=5.38158&mlon=120.30581&zoom=17 into an island as it is surrounded by water Copy the url (i. e. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=5.38158&mlon=120.30581&zoom=17) to your favorite editor and reverse the way direction. PS. If you see other error reports in the error logs, try correcting some of them as well. The error blurb should explain the problem.
