Re: [talk-au] Victorian Vicmap Address Import Proposal

Hi Andrew, indeed a great initiative and yes the NSW import has stalled way too long. You will also need to detail how to deal with Unit numbers. For the NSW import there where many single houses that had several entries like 12A, 12B and 12-2 Lakewook Road. Do you import them as individual

I do consider the website of a business public. Why else would the business have the website? So if said website provides information that makes sense in OSM, I add it. Yes the brain is to be switched on, always, e.g. opening hours - I follow what the shop states if they differ from the site.
