The remark I made was about the associatedStreet relation. The name of the street is put in the name tag, just like it is done on the ways forming the street. So all other tags are addr:country, addr:city, addr:postcode, but the streetname goes into name. Everyone is free to add addr:street to

I've added most of those addresses in Reet. I use JOSM all the time to create associatedStreet relations. I vaguely remember seeing a different behavior at a certain point, where JOSM started adding addr:street tags to the buildings when its building tool creates an associatedStreet relation. Is

This is what I would propose: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1919939/history addr:city, addr:postcode, addr:country, and maybe addr:state, although I'd prefer addr:province there go in the associatedStreet relation. The name of the street goes into name. This way it becomes usable

Hi Chris, The easiest way is to simply add addr:housenumber nodes. It's hard to do anything wrong with that. For good measure add addr:street as well. On Android you can use the latest version of Vespucci. It works quite well, but it's not a lot of use without an internet connection (3G or WLAN).
