Re: [OSM-talk] Working with lat and long simply

If you use OSMand find the POI then menu, search by location it displays both the latitude and longitude of the POI these can be cut and pasted in the normal way. This works if you're offline by the way. Barcode addresses can be created in qr4 format http://blog.qr4.nl/QR-Code-Navigation.aspx

Re: [OSM-talk] Working with lat and long simply

The issue isn't that nomination won't handle lat and long it is that you cannot cut and paste from the xml code. "lat='45.472891' lon='-75.4891002'" doesn't work. You have to know enough or have the instructions to hand to strip off the unwanted lat= and lon=. It is currently inconsistent, and

Re: [OSM-talk] Working with lat and long simply

I think 2-5 meters per century is acceptable and means lat / long is an acceptable method but since some houses are less than this in width it would probably be an idea to refresh the address once in a while. Cheerio John On 10 September 2016 at 15:02, Oleksiy Muzalyev

Re: [OSM-talk] Working with lat and long simply

To make it really simple if we could encode the lat and long in a bar code then a delivery person with a smartphone could scan the bar code and have the address displayed on a map. That makes life much more interesting as now you can give someone a list of packages in the order they are to be
