My test routing (using osm2mp.pl and mkgmap r967) from E6 (motorway) 
into Hwy3214 (primary) via Exit602 (motorway_link)

motorway_link=0x09
- mapsource instruction = "Exit left onto ramp onto Hwy3214"
- MobileXT = "Exit left on Hwy3214", "Continue on sliproad to Hwy3214"

motorway_link=0x0B (default setting in osm2mp.pl)
- mapsource = "Bear left onto Exit602"
- MobileXT = "Exit left on Exit602"

I prefer motorway_link=0x0B but not sure if other garmin devices give 
the same instruction.
