Is it possible to show addresses on Mapsource etc?
I've tried adding
addr=housenumber [ 0 x etc ] addr=* [ etc ] address=* [ etc ]
to the points file.
However,the img file created using mkgmap does not include the typ number I had reserved. ie looking at the POI Types in the TRE all my other types are listed so I know the addr: doesn't seem to work, or does it?

-- Er, not sure what you're trying to do here. If an OSM object contains address information and you use an appropriate Garmin type code*, then mkgmap will complete the address fields of the Garmin object using the OSM addr: tags and the phone=x tag too, if available. These are visible in both mapsource and on your GPS.
* Not all Garmin type codes can accept address information. As a rule of thumb, assume that the only type codes that can are in the range: 0x2a00 to 0x32ff -- Charlie
