Wrong turn directions are either from having a messed up course point that makes the device think you want to turn the wrong way, or from not having the correct settings in the device. On a course, you want Turn Notifications ON and Virtual Partner OFF. Under System/Routing you want Calculate Routes for Bicycle, Guidance Method On Road for Distance, Lock on Road NO, Avoidance Setup: Do Not Avoid anything, Recalculate OFF.

I use OSM maps on my device, which works fine with RWGPS. AFAIK, you can't put OSM maps on RWGPS - it uses what it uses.
