Thank you very much for this good workaround! It performs very good
for polygons, but for individual points I was not able to make it
work.

Do you have the appropriate code to put in the points file in order to
show in the same way as for the polygons the house number in the name?

This looks good and should be quite convenient to use.

I already saw this mapping project. It seems to be very complete.
Unfortunately, the data of the nzopengps.org maps is not symphonized
with the OSM base.

Merry Christmas to all of you!
