I understood it in this way, but it doesn't do this. I looked for a lot of
primaries and secondaries and all of them are named only by there ref.

Yes I'm usind the default style. I changed nothing.

Sorry, I'm confused. Above you told me this is how to combine ref and name.

Can you test it please in Mapsource at the following location?
 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.5916&lon=6.5342&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF

Holding the mouse pointer over the streets shows me the name of the street
like this:
B 57, B 58, K 22, Bönninger Strasse

Create a short routing for testing the routing instructions:
>From B57 to B58 it tells me: Turn right to B58 (no street name)
>From B57 to K22 it tells me: Turn left to K22 (no street name)
>From B57 to Bönninger Straße tells me: Turn left to Bönninger Straße ( but
there is no ref stored in the osm data)

Greetings,
Ralf
