Really not an mkgmap issue, but I think you're totally wrong here: I
walk around my neighbourhood gathering data. I indeed don't need it, but
if you visit my neighbourhood, you'll have good data. Now what if I
visit you neighbourhood?

1) I'm not going to walk around my neighbourhood gathering data. I
*know* my neighbourhood, I don't care about that data.
2) If the data is that inconsistent in my area, how can I trust the
data for other areas? Why would I load maps with inconsistent data
into a navigational device I depend on? A device that could easily
save my life (and has gotten me out of more than one situation that
could have ended VERY poorly).
So do you expect me to go to areas outside of my normal area to
collect data so I can use it to navigate the area? Think about it....
The issue is simple and I'm sorry for the harsh tone, but this is
about BAD data. Street information without address data included
should be rejected as incomplete by the OSM.

Then please do something about it! OSM is the result of volunteers who
see a problem and go out and survey to correct or enhance the map.
You have identified problems: you have told us that you have a GPS. So
now you need to get out there and insert the address information into
OSM. And perhaps encourage others to join you.
