Certainly in some edge cases, addresses don't line up with the plot outlines, in which case it would make more sense to map it to the building, but in most cases, the address applies to the whole property. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

I'm not sure how you plan on doing this. Many times a fence will be on one side of the property line, to avoid dealing with a neighbor. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Proposed Fresno fixes
Thanks for everyone's comments. Like I said before, I think the Fresno import can be fixed with a little manual work, ok maybe more than a little. I have done some minor edits to it and have wanted to really go in and do some major cleanup work but have not had the time. But since I was the one who imported it, I want to be the one to clean it up. So here is what I propose. I am going to start going through the data and making changes to it to make it easier to edit and add new data and to make it easier to download large areas. 1. Get rid of redundant and conflicting tags. 2. Remove empty areas. I will review these areas and probably end up deleting most of them unless they have an obvious landuse. 2. Align the shapes to match what is on the ground. I plan to either get rid of or modify them so they match what is on the ground. 3. Merge landuse areas with the same tag. This will essentially get rid of most of the individual parcels and turn them into one area for areas that are touching. Initially I had hoped the parcels could be addressed. But as someone pointed out, even if they are, they might not be in the center of the building. 4. Get rid of extra tags. I going to try to remove the extra tags. If I can't do it manually I will check about doing it with a script. I will do most of the cleanup myself, but if anyone wants to help feel free to jump in or get in touch. As always, I appreciate any feedback. Thanks, Nathan ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
