<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi Thorsten,<br><br>thanks for the quick feedback. I agree that this<br>is a case that should be fixed in OSM, esp.<br>as I found another part of L340 which has name=Stühren.<br><br>Similar problem for mkgmap : <br>Unnamed service roads leading to many houses with addr:street tag.<br>I wonder if mkgmap could give them the name of the road <br>so that address search finds them in the service road while road search <br>would only show the original list.
