My input data was from April the 4th, somewhat about 1pm if I  
remember correctly.
I just checked he roundabout with josm. The direction and the tags  
seem fine by now.
I can' check the last modification date from within josm though.

I think mkgmap routing is quite good if most of the errors originate  
from bad osm data.

I will try the road-name-pios tomorrow and give feedback for this as  
well.

The entrys in the exit-menu are from the basemap, as stated some  
mails before.

Some additional information: the crossings menu worked when entering  
two streets and a city,
but the street name list was not filtered / cut down to he streets  
actually in that city. Also when
entering the second street name, the list is not filtered / cut down  
to the streets crossing the first street in that city.
I don't know if any of these two behaviors are supposed to be  
different than that.
(I don't own even one commercial map. I fully believed in mkgmap to  
bring OSM maps to the Garmin device when buying it.)

As some others posted earlier: I too desperately want to add to the  
mkgmap development, but I just can't find the time to do so.
I really do need o look into the java and the style-file code soon.

Stefan
