Problem encounters when editing routes on map

Hi anyone,
i'm having a problem using the GPSMAP 296:
In normal map mode, putting the cursor on a city results in the city's name displayed on the cursors hint box and in the displays top line.

If creating a route in "edit on map" mode, cities with road crossings (most of the bigger ones) are shown with their road numbers instead of their names.
Cities w/o roads are shown with their names.

So using bigger cities as route waypoints is inconvenient, because the road numbers are not very useful.

What can i do to get the name of the bigger cities instead of the road numbers to be used as waypoints?
The unit is in aviation mode, map and firmware are up to date.

Thanks in advance for help.
