Street numbers are given out as vacant land is developed -- so they are not necessary in order. When a piece of land is subdivided, the whole piece gets a number, then the subdivided pieces have their own number after a slash. IE., if a piece of land with house number "555" is subdivided, the smaller pieces get 555/1, 555/2, etc.
But the plot of land next to 555 might just as well be 22.
Sometimes it is impossible to find things without the help of the mail man.
None of the GPS programs (Garmin, Tom Tom, Google) can focus down to an individual address for this reason. Best they can get is an intersection or a nearby landmark.
