For me, I like to know where I AM, not where I am 'near' - the difference between (in my example) Portishead and Bristol is some 20+ miles. If I gave a road name to say a breakdown company that was in Portishead, but read it off the Navi (which says Bristol), they would either not find a road with that name or (worse) find a road say for example Acacia Avenue (common road name in the UK  ) in Bristol and then go to the wrong place. Lets face it, you use the Navi in anger when you don't know where you are!
The old way it used to work was to kind of abbreviate - so it would have said B. Portishead - I knew this to mean Bristol/Portishead whereby the near major town/city was abbreviated.
I have just downgraded to V26-3D Toggle - not been for a drive yet but will see if it has restored it back to the old type display.

Think this maybe because of further integration with post codes ? Notice from Autoroute that Portishead has BS post codes.
Mine has changed too, used to give the nearest village, now has the post town, will persevere with it as is for a while before deciding.
