When I looked at my residential area I saw that almost no streets were named 
and someone had entered 'fix-me' on some.  I figured I would do as you 
suggest and add the names BUT
it seems to be a difficult involved process.  I haven't gone back to see if I 
can figure out  'HOW-TO'. So in simple language
HOW-TO?
