There doesn't seem to be much consistency in the unit whether it refers to streets and places with their Welsh names or the English equivalent.

Sometimes I am driving to Caerdydd and other times to Cardiff. If I am trying to navigate to a road it can be very confusing to only find the English name, and I say this as a transplanted Englishman!

Is there any hidden setting I can tweak to make it stick with one or the other?

Not that I've ever seen...

I think it is down to idiosyncrasies with the mapping itself. I imagine the people who do the data entry aren't the highest paid of people.

Even in London, some streets are "logged" with a town name, some with a Postcode and some just as "London".
