How GPS systems dont always say the name of the street and say the county route instead?

I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 portable GPS device and its a very nice gps however i noticed that sometimes it will say the name of the street to turn on but sometimes it will say county route 908 or whatever the county route is instead of the street name. Why is that?

I’ve noticed that it usually says the name that’s on the most obvious sign at the intersection.
The one that drives me crazy is when I’m putting in a destination address, and the address is like 105 Route 9. It consistently rejects “Route x”. It took me a while to discover that it recognizes only “Hwy x”, even though the phone book, the place itself, and the freakin’ post office!!! all use “Route x” in the address, not Hwy.
Bleck!
