1) I'm not going to walk around my neighbourhood gathering data.
I *know* my neighbourhood, I don't care about that data.
<br>
<br>
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).
<br>
<br>
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....
<br>
<br>
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.

Now this isn't a mkgmap issue, but if I raise this to the

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