With > Street Address Limitations ( missing streets and street numbers) At the moment, this is a bit painful, but quite possible to fix up manually.
The full extent of the problem is visible through the OSM inspector, highways layer. http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=highways&lon=138.53329&lat=-34.91724&zoom=10&overlays=name_missing_major,name_missing_minor,name_fixme We actually have the data and explicit permission for this available to us: http://data.sa.gov.au/dataset/roads ... it's just tricky to manually find and name things using tools like QGIS. I tend to: - Load OSMI - Find a dense area of unnamed roads - Manually check and reconcile each one against the shapefile While there might be better ways, and this won't catch roads that "blend" into each other; it's at least a start. Annoyingly, OSMI refreshes once a week so you don't see much progress. Would people be interested if I started up a mapcraft job to work on this sort of thing? http://mapcraft.nanodesu.ru/pie/288 is an example of one doing building mapping - naming roads is probably a lot easier.
