Someone on the forum seems to have found the solution: Quote by Vclaw:
I noticed this same thing on some Garmin maps I was making. I think its caused by the highway shields, as the Garmin can't display those as well as the name at the same time. I fixed it by setting the "display_name" for the highways. eg a style rule like this:
highway=primary {name '${ref|highway-symbol:box} ${name}' | '${ref|highway-symbol:box}' | '${name}'; add display_name = '$
It's aparently the second part of this patch of which only the first part has been committed: <http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2009q4/005056.html> Marko Mäkelä wrote:

There's a question on the OSM forum about the naming of highways in the default stylesheet which comes down to this: if a ref is available then that seems always used even if a name is also available, can this be changed to show the name as well?

I can't repeat this as described on my Edge 705 and today's map from http://www.polkupyoraily.net/osm/. I do see the "mouseover" label "ref name", but if I hit Enter on it, the "POI window" displays either "ref" or "ref name", i.e., "152" or "1521 Jokivarrentie". I tried it here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=60.3470937&lon=25.1346522&zoom=18 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/374125267
The 1521 is a lesser-class road that lacks the highway shield. It says "1521 Jokivarrentie" on the map without a shield. The 152 (when I zoom in) displays the ref=152 in an oval shield and the name=Sipoontie below that.
Also, if I select the motorway a few hundred meters west from that point, it says just "4" (the ref), but the mouseover tooltip says "4 Lahdenväylä (E)" [E=etelä=south]. When I zoom in, the map displays the ref in a box and the name below that.
It would be nice if the "POI window" displayed the name in addition to the ref for roads that carry a highway shield. Could this be arranged with display_name?
For some reason, QLandkarteGT is not showing me any street names or labels; only POI names.
