I suspect if you checked several other map source data, those addresses would be on the wrong side of the road as well. That kind of thing is almost like a map virus. The odd/even address data gets entered into one DB incorrectly and it spreads to others.

I live on a circle (u shaped) street. My house number was on the opposite of the circle in Google Maps and every GPS system I checked for a decade. Suddenly, it was corrected in Google Maps and every other system quickly followed. I haven't had someone tell me they were looking for my house on the other side of the circle in years.

My point is that the map data is sourced from several shared systems through licensing agreements. It's not going to be fixed by a firmware update. As whatever map system(s) HD is using, gets updated and refined, those type of errors may or may not get corrected. That's life with global map data at this point in time. Use absolute geo coordinates if you need absolute accuracy. Everything else is subject to error on any system.
