Is even or odd bound to a specific side of the road?

I ask because i noticed that a Garmin Nuevi announces the side of the road
the target should be when you reach it. The TomTom device i have does not.

When even/odd are not bound to a specific side of the road and you
want announcements like that you again mostly need to tag all individual
addresses.
