We do not know because its not going to be a massive import an will depend on the decision that the local mappers that will work on their respective areas. However, we estimate that: - For every house more or less it would be a parcel. In big cities lots of houses have the same geometry as the parcel; in this case only one geometry is created. Son It will be less than double the number of ways. - We guess that the 3D information will add more or less 3 times the usual number of ways in a only houses import. >> > And I suspect that they are going to >> > give you a big headache once you get around to mapping addresses. >> >> I don't think so.

We have discussed that in the Spanish list and the consensus was that it is better to put that information in the parcel because: - If there is more than one build, yo what build will you put the address information? Will you duplicate the info? - If the parcel is big and the build is located far from a road (like, for example, in rural areas) we think that it would be easier to the routing service to find the entrance=yes of the parcel than to guess hot to reach to the building. We think that this way is the most useful way of doing, but if you can provide us a better solution we happily change the import program and the suggested import wiki. -- Cruz Enrique Borges Hernández Email: [email protected] DeustoTech Energy Telefono: 944139000 ext.2052 Avda.
