Have a BU-353 GPS dongle and an AO755 netbook
  a mid tier desktop and a car to work with. How do I add all the house 
numbers and business names in my neighborhood to Open Street Map?

What GPS navigation software do you recommend using with OpenSteetMap to 
test with to see if navigation is working correctly from one point to 
another?
