I believe that the original question was about house numbers that would
appear on the map like they do in paid-for Garmin maps: without a POI,
displayed in a tooltip when you hover the pointer next to the street line.
I saw this about 4 months ago on a friend's Edge 705. There were no POIs
or polygons in the area; just a residential street on a yellow background.

Something like this should work to that effect:
building=* { name '${addr:housenumber|def:} ${addr:street|def:}
${addr:postcode|def:} ${addr:city|def:} ${addr:country|def:}' }
But I do not see the point of this. If you select a POI on the map,
the POI details screen will already display these addr:* tags and
the phone number, at least on the Edge 705.
I do not really know anything about this. My not-so-well-educated
guess is that the house numbers could show up if you ran mkgmap --index
and uploaded the map to the device from MapSource. I have never tried
either.
Best regards,
Marko
