  There are many cases where addresses are not shown on OSM tiles.  For 
some examples:

   - Addresses spaced too close to render every one.
   - Addresses added as part of a single-purpose building such as a 
restaurant.   Therefore only the restaurant or building name is shown.

   A dedicated app or overlay that is aware of both OSM addresses and 
the hypothetical address repository would be better: show all addresses 
while walking down the street, and identify the source of the address by 
color.
