<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi all,<br><br>in Germany I've never seen or heard an address<br>that uses the road ref. <br>Within cities the roads all have a sign giving<br>a name, the address is written as<br><br><street name> <house number><br><zip code> <city name><br><br>In small hamlets, the address is written as something like<br><br><hamlet> <house number><br><zip code> <nearby larger city><br><br>and you may not find any road named<br><hamlet> in it (means, no road name signs)<br>Some OSM users are tagging that with<br>the addr:place tag, some are adding<br>a name=<hamlet> to all roads in the hamlet.<br>For sure, nobody will use the ref here.<br><br>In short:<br>I don't want to see the ref when I am searching for an address.<br>If possible, I want to see it and be able to search for it <br>when searching for a road.<br>It should also appear when the map is rendered.<br><br>I have no idea if that requires changes in the java code,<br>or in the default style, on in both.<br><br>Gerd<br> </div></body>
