Building Numbers On Maps

[Jim1348]

I noticed that house numbers show up on OpenStreetMaps when I view them on-line.

They are not present when I look at the maps on my Garmin Zumo XT device.

Is there a way to display them on my Garmin?

Not sure which map you use, but the Garmin/zūmo series are also supported by mkgmap

Thank you for the reply, emvee.

Will the mkgmaps show the house/buildings numbers on those maps?

One of two things may be happening:

• They are showing a custom map that doesn’t have the building numbers.
• The map is zoomed out, such that building numbers aren’t visible anyway.

Yes, it will.

Reading more on the link I provided I also found a link to a Dutch topic on this forum:

huisnummers

hoewel ik het (nog) niet bgrijp denk ik wel dat hier de oplossing ligt, nu nog leren werken met dat overpass turbo (waarom doe ik dit niet in de winter…) verder is het toch wel een hardcore antwoord waar ik mij even een zondag in ga verdiepen… in ieder geval bedankt voor de moeite genomen, als Jip of Janneke ook een antwoord zouden kunnen geven graag (scheelt weer een paar zondagen) Rob

From that I get there are downsides, too much details can clog up you map and the alternative provided is using OsmAnd.
