Yesterday I was cycling to Ipswich and I told the garmin to find me a route. It did so beautifully, but it turned out that the dot on the map which represents Ipswich was actually placed about 2 or more miles north of the town centre. Given that I was juggling time and had a train to catch, this was a bit annoying, although in the event I had about 10 minutes to spare.
I've had a look at OSM in edit mode using Potlatch but I cannot see anything in the precise area of the map which I can identify as giving the Garmin the idea that that was where the centre of Ipswich was.
Anyone got any ideas? It was that Andy Gates rendition that I was using, but I don't think that would have made any difference.
Going to Openstreetmap.org on a PC and asking it to find Ipswich takes you pretty much to the Town Centre.
Edit: there are two dots on OSM representing Ipswich. One is defined as "Ipswich, Suffolk" and the other is "Ipswich, GBR".
