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