Commercial buildings are particularly difficult here in Nashville, TN, because about 80% of commercial buildings have no street address posted on the outside. Apparently, they aren't required to do so. On April 12, 2015 11:50:21 AM CDT, Greg Morgan dr.kludge...@gmail.com wrote: On Sat, Apr

My few trial uses of Vespucci lead me to believe that I need an data connection while using it. Am I wrong? With OsmPad, KeyPad or OSMtracker I can collect data while off line which is very important to me. Cheers, Tod On Apr 13, 2015, at 2:02 AM, Simon Poole si...@poole.ch wrote: IMHO

Excellent job Steve, I believe that house addresses is the only thing missing from OSM that is stopping it from becoming the mainstream mapping data of choice! I’ve always been interested in how to collect addresses, which can be a time consuming and difficult task. Walking around a
