Well I don't know how to clear it. Setting it to 0 doesn't help. It 
seems to only matter whether it is even or uneven. Setting it even 
breaks routing, while all uneven values work. Therefore I'm more or less 
sure, this is not the NOD flag.
Also this byte is set for non routable garmin maps to even and uneven 
values, so no, I don't think this has anything to do with it.
