I don't think so--I think it's the full, unrestricted version with routing and everything. > > > The other complicating factor is that > > there is currently no path from OSM data to cGPSMapper format.

Yes, I realized this quickly--it's the wrong tool for the job. I did it as a quick proof-of-concept (which worked), and to further my understanding of the cGPSMapper input format. > > > The other big factor is that there is no agreement on how to do > > street/house numbers yet, so there's limited data in OSM anyway.

Yes, absolutely, but everyone keeps trying to make a single relation into a number range, instead of the simpler and more flexible case of numbering single points with one relation at each point where you want to provide a number, with the number range between the points implied based on the numbering scheme indicated (read my proposal for more details--it's really quite simple). This is the format similar to what cGPSMapper requires, and it makes a lot of sense. The GPS manufacturers solved this problem already; let's not re-invent the wheel.
