No, I'm sorry, I was speaking rubbish. The etrex does show the problem.

I think what's happening here is that without dirindicator being set,
the gps will not route INTO a oneway street the wrong way. But if the
route STARTS in a oneway street, it will route OUT using the wrong direction
unless dirindicator is set. If you ask me, that's pretty dumb behaviour
by the gps.

Cheers,

Mark
