Doing some Brum searches with nominatim has revealed that we have some
issues with place= conflicts. We have a mixture of suburb, town, village and
hamlet nodes in Birmingham and the West Mids generally and sometimes this
leads to unexpected results, like roads in Sutton Coldfield being in Castle

The low zoom tiles will catch up at some point.

Great work! How can you tell when you have every postcode and is there some way
of checking them against the OS OpenData postcode centroids?

Hi Lawrence,
I tend to try and tag stuff with its primary purpose. If I really do think
its more than one then I either split the object up (eg separate retail
outlets within one building) or occasionally use a semicolon (like on bus
stops to denote the multitude of route_ref's). Anything more

Lawrence,
One thing I forgot to add. On occasion where it's difficult to add stuff
without it conflicting with something else (like a snooker hall over shops
for example) I might make closed ways for the retail units and then simply
add a node for the snooker hall. Better than ignoring the data

I see - so you can use your judgement to work out the area of a postcode
based on its centroid and the streets and buildings nearby.
It's not that simple. You need to do the ground survey first to get the

OSM's coverage of streets is much better than its coverage of buildings.
Might it make sense to tag postcodes on ways?
Nope, streets often have more than one postcode for the properties on that
street. It's not the street that has a postcode
