Hi Chris, The easiest way is to simply add addr:housenumber nodes. It's hard to do anything wrong with that. For good measure add addr:street as well. On Android you can use the latest version of Vespucci. It works quite well, but it's not a lot of use without an internet connection (3G or WLAN).

Don't become 'inventive' or 'creative'. We only map the routes that are signposted. You can have a look in the list of my recent edits for examples. I'm working on rcn networks a lot. Jo, In my understanding if a route is digitally available (or digitally signposted as you so beautifully

The numbered nodes get rcn_ref with the number as the value. Then you create a relation for each of the routes in between with: type=route route=bicycle network=rcn note=xx-yy To this relation you add all the ways to get from node xx to node yy, where xx is the lower numbered node. Then you can

PS: I'm using a lot of geocoding when I truly mean 'reverse geocode', I only focus in getting full addresses back from coordinates. That's probably the main difference. I focus on geocoding (getting coordinates from an address). And when you have long streets without housenumbe
