When I download and install North Carolina in MapSource and request it to calculate that route then the resulting route differs from Cloudmade but almost exactly matches MapSource...

Ok, I have no idea what's wrong. I will try to route again from the main road instead of near my work building and see if it changes anything. If it fails again, any suggestions on how to proceed? The only thing I saw using JOSM was that Davis Dr has two segments created in opposite ways which join close to where that turn into Kit Creek Rd is.

Well, I should have added that a positive result in MapSource does not automatically mean it will work on any/some of the Garmin GPS devices as well. I did not have time yesterday to test on my GPSMap60Csx.

It's probably a good idea to clean that area up a bit, it won't hurt even though during Garmin map generation some work is done to sanitize the data so that it fits in a Garmin map file (which can result in weird routing I guess).

No, and it shouldn't really be named like that unless that's exactly what you'd find if you look at the streetsigns on every corner of that street. I guess the streetsigns give you "Kitt Creek Road" and that's what the name-tag in OSM should be.

Yes, the street signs are Kit Creek. I looked in JOSM and the only thing I see that would cause this is either name_1 or ref tag.

Ok, I would recommend to move the non-name part of the current name to a tag of it's own but contacting the OSM-US mailinglist about the naming/tag convention would be wise.
