That is the right thing to do. > What is the opinion on addr:interpolation here? I cannot speak for other areas, but twenty years ago every town in my county renumbered their roads so that your house number is 1/200th of the mile down your road. When a new house gets built, there is no question what its house number is. Now, for my area, I've numbered all the houses (well, mailboxes, because that's where the number is) AND used those points to create address interpolation ways AND the property centroid has a node with the cadastral address on it, as well. Mostly I did that on bicycle rides near my house; not everywhere. And mostly that was done to test the accuracy of mailbox vs cadastral centroid vs interpolation. And y'know? It's all good. Any one of them works. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
