I installed the openstreet map in my Garmin 57LM, simulated a routing trip but there is an error in the routing. The trip is from Lucerne to Munich, Google Map suggested 360km, but Openstreet suggested a detour at Berlin, which the total distance is 1500km+, which is incorrect, is there an error in Openstreetmap routing??

The openstreet map was downloaded from this website http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/

Ed's answer suggests the route has improved so downloading a new map from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ should be worthwhile. If current OSM website routing also shows the fault, route it in short sections ( On a pc) to pinpoint it. Then maybe you can fix it, or highlight it here, or mark it with a map note.

This probably won't help, but trying Lurcerne to Munich on the main site gives 366km, so the issue seems specific to the Garmin file.
