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? > I have attached a screen shot of a section of Hamburg which shows > how this looks.

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.
