I just bought a Garmin Nuvi 1300 and updated the maps.
As an example, on a highway in a major metropolitan area, it lists a
cross street/exit as GA-72 instead of Johnson Street. Even though
it's officially both, it's not shown as GA-72 anywhere except in the
GPS. The exit sign doesn't say it, the street itself has no signs
stating it, and locals don't even know it also has a state route
number. And it's just a little street, not a highway.
The GPS should show it as Johnson Street.
Is this a known issue with Garmin GPSs and the company from which they
purchase their maps?

I can't predict how anyone else will answer your question, but I've
seen what you describe multiple times.
Local example: there's a stretch of US Highway 50 here that shares the
same asphalt as Interstate 35. Everyone knows the road as I-35, but on
that stretch of road the GPS (Nuvi 760, in my case) insists on calling
it US 50. Annoying.

This type of error should be reported, IMNSHO. Or you should bear it and
grin.
What is Rt 128 aka I95 around Boston called nowadays? I lived near there
from '69 till '76, and still visit more or less regularly, so I don't use
a GPS to get around ...

I bear it. Next time it happens I'll try to check if I have a grin. :)
