I'm not sure if this question has been asked regarding the nuvi 3597. Certain roads beginning with examples like Loop xx or Spur xx (the way the actual road signs read) display on the 3597 as xx-Loop or xx-Spur. Is that a feature of the maps themselves or a bug that might need to be looked at?

Any insight would be appreciated.

I wouldn't call it a bug, probably the way the name is stored in the map data.

I don't think it's a bug.

I don't think it's a bug. It's just how they choose to display the road name. Because technically, "Business 123" is actually "Interstate 123 Business Route"

I had forgotten about examples like the one you mentioned and thought that what I was seeing was a little unusual. Thanks for the insight.
