Re: [Talk-GB] UK street addressing

The housenumber and street would be tagged on the "building:part=house" Is this housrnumber belonging to the terrace or is it belonging to the street? If it belongs to the terrace, I think even with this tagging software wouldnt recognise this. In that case, this is the tagging O use (its not

What you do is give the outline way "buildong=terrace" and "name=" and all the houses with "building:part=house". The software can then tell that all those houses are part of the terrace called -- 20 Dec 2020, 17:30 by colin.sm...@xs4all.nl: > > On 20

Re: [Talk-GB] UK street addressing

Tag the houses with addr:place maybe? Or, better method is to use the alternative terrace taggong scheme where each house is tagged as building:part=house within a larger building=terrace.  (Terracer plugin lets you do this if you check "keep outline way") IpswichMapper-- 20 Dec 2020,

Re: [Talk-GB] UK street addressing

Marking city, town etc is not necessary in UK because Geocoders like nominatim can figure those out using afministrative boundaries. What is important is the housenumber and street: "addr:housenumber=99 addr:street= Postal Street" And postcode: "addr:postcode=XY9 7GY" Note, all postcodes are

Re: [Talk-GB] driveway-becomes-track

Yes, however the reasoning for this is that sometimes someone has drawn every single driveway on a street in a city/town.  Rendering this at low zoom levels would clutter the map. By contrast, tracks are often much more sparsely populated, so they don't clutter the map. I don't know what the

Re: [Talk-GB] Tagging of shared use paths

Just to add by the way, in a country like netherlands "cycleways" are paved paths dedicated to cycles. You can't walk on there because there are also sidewalks to walk on. E.g.: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pAL4yr927e4/maxresdefault.jpg -- 10 Dec 2020, 14:08 by tonyo...@gmail.com: > > Are there

Didn't know this tagging scheme existed actually. Every single path that allows both cycling and walking is tagged as "highway=cycleway", "foot=yes" and "segregated=no" in my area (as well as "footway=sidewalk" sometimes) -- 10 Dec 2020, 12:24 by epicthom...@gmail.com: > I've reached a

Oh yes, private streets are always a problem. In fact, I feel uncomfortable even walking down  dead end roads to survey, and so I avoid them. Usually I just record the first number, then guess the rest of the numbers on dead end streets. NLS definately would be better. That being said, who

This is why I think that a tasking manager is good. Firstly, it is not exactly "wholesale" in the sense that a lot of data with little checking. Every square is mapped and then validated as well. Secondly, this is why it is imperative to check if the buildings still exist on Bing. If they do,

Hello, As anyone mapping in the UK knows, in most areas housenumber coverage is abysmal. For example, germany has 14 million housenumbers, USA has 10 million and the UK has about 1.6 million as of 2018.[1] Therefore, an open data source of housenumbers would make it significantly easier to
