This is as good as it gets with TeleAtlas data. They intrapolate house numbers from the start and end house number of a street segment., they do not have every single house number geocoded yet.

Most SatNav systems won't be this accurate. SatNav is best used to get you to the street (local vacinity) and you then use your eyes to look at door/house numbers.

In some areas you will find it will get you right outside a house, other times it won't. As Lutz says, it really depends on how well the area has been geocoded, and for most, it means anything from 5-20 houses.
