I switched my Garmin to Australian as well. Now it calls onramps 'sliproads'. Does know what the abbreviation HWY means. A few others as well. Not sure why that

  I am an Australian. Seems they got it wrong. I am familiar with onramps, but haven't heard of sliproads until now. We use the Hwy abbreviation in Australia, too.

    As per the parent, we refer to them as onramps in Australia, though that may be an Americanisation of our language with exposure to US-centric TV. I am also familiar with the term 'sliproads' and although I don't use it naturally, something in the back of my mind says it is in fact the 'traditional' name for them. it might in fact be the British version.

      > it might in fact be the British version. Correct, we call them sliproads in Britain, and I believe in Ireland too.

        Except that a sliproad can be either an on-ramp or an off-ramp.
