How about this: particularly in the case of two businesses within one building polygon, create non-building area's for the business tags. Then you get the sense of scale of the business, and preserve the free tagging of the building polygon. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Depending on the situation, it may also be more appropriate to put the name on a land use polygon (landuse=retail or landuse=commercial) that surrounds the building and grounds. You could also have more than one name tag on the building by making use of various name tags (for example alt_name or old_name). If there's a name etched in stone that's part of the building denoting it's original use (for example a former elementary school), then I capture that with old_name.

The building and business may well have different owners. In some cases a business will sell it's building but lease back the space.

From an aesthetics view, rendering addresses clutters up the map. From a practical view, address information can be helpful, but rendering every unit number doesn't gain much unless it is in an area such as a mobile home park. All you really need is just the housenumber to find the building. I'm all in favor of only rendering only at the highest zoom level and only once for each housenumber, not for every unit number, especially since the unit number doesn't render. Rendering unit numbers in a mobile home park or camping site numbers would aid finding the correct location. What is really important is collecting and entering the data so routers and search engines can find the location.

Right or wrong I figured most of the other tags are Euro-English coloured, so to speak, that it did not mater if I used addr:flats verses addr:unit. The problem is that only addr:house number renders. I am not sure how we can render an address so that it is useful other than only displaying the number. Then there is a debate over what tags to add for completeness of an imported address such as addr:state being redundant. Moreover, there is the debate of including/excluding zipcode areas in the OSM data so that it could be used to improve address data. On top of suites what do we do with building numbers. I have no joy with a complex like this http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/33.59390/-111.98171. How do you add the suite ranges with any meaning along with a building letter that is useful on the map? I though x001-x012 for the suite because there is more than one suite for the building. The floor is the distinguishing number for all the suites in that building. Then there was this experiment http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/33.58335/-111.90703. I left crappy but useful map data. addr:housenumber contains both the number and the building letter in the same field. The map is useful because you can find the building.

Re: [Talk-us] Tagging addresses on area's
I don't think the issue would be routing so much as finding the location. I just checked OsmAnd to see if it could find a near by apartment complex where the grounds are tagged with, among other tags addr:housenumber=*, addr:street=*, landuse=residential and name=*. The buildings on it are simply tagged with building=yes and source=bing. OsmAnd was able to find the location by address but, interestingly, not by name. Looks like the online routing sites I use like http://map.project-osrm.org and http://www.yournavigation.org/index.php can find the location by name and address. -Tod On Dec 8, 2014, at 1:19 AM, Hans De Kryger wrote: > Does anyone know if osm navigation apps can route you to your location using > area's tagged with a full address?

That would depend on the navigation app in question, wouldn't it? If we mappers include more data, well structured, complete and up to date, app developers will be more inclined / motivated to make their apps work with it, I would think. I think, based on your email, that you and I are mapping malls in a similar fashion. Add the whole building with address, name, etc, then add nodes for each shop or other amenity. Include the unit number on the node if that is also available. This approach seems to work well with hotels (with internal restaurant) condo residences with ground floor retail, etc. Best regards and happy mapping, Richard ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
[Talk-us] Tagging addresses on area's
Does anyone know if osm navigation apps can route you to your location using area's tagged with a full address? I ask because I've been tagging apartment complexes, (Retail area's with names) with full addresses. Adding the data to the area. *Regards,* *Hans* ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
