I've coded the following simple approach: For each element (node/way) with addr:housenumber=* and addr:place=* and addr:street!=* search the nearest routable way that has no name (mkgmap:street!=*) If the closest road is within a given range (150m), store the place name as a possible road name. Perform a 2nd search to find also the closest road with a name or ref. If we find exactly one possible name for the road, use it.
I really don't understand what's going on here, but this strikes me as strange; an address node with housenumber and place isn't about a street. Is the problem that in the Garmin format that the only way to represent an address is via a road? I wonder if there's a way to have short non-rendered non-routable segments of roads to hang the addresses on.
