[Talk-us] Tagging addresses on area's
Does anyone know if osm navigation apps can route you to your location using area's tagged with a full address? I ask because I've been tagging apartment complexes, (Retail area's with names) with full addresses. Adding the data to the area. *Regards,* *Hans* ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

That would depend on the navigation app in question, wouldn't it? If we mappers include more data, well structured, complete and up to date, app developers will be more inclined / motivated to make their apps work with it, I would think. I think, based on your email, that you and I are mapping malls in a similar fashion. Add the whole building with address, name, etc, then add nodes for each shop or other amenity. Include the unit number on the node if that is also available. This approach seems to work well with hotels (with internal restaurant) condo residences with ground floor retail, etc. Best regards and happy mapping, Richard ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Mkgmap will search for an entrance=main, then an entrance=yes, and lastly use the building's centroid.

I don't think the issue would be routing so much as finding the location. I just checked OsmAnd to see if it could find a near by apartment complex where the grounds are tagged with, among other tags addr:housenumber=*, addr:street=*, landuse=residential and name=*. The buildings on it are simply tagged with building=yes and source=bing. OsmAnd was able to find the location by address but, interestingly, not by name. Looks like the online routing sites I use like http://map.project-osrm.org and http://www.yournavigation.org/index.php can find the location by name and address. -Tod On Dec 8, 2014, at 1:19 AM, Hans De Kryger wrote: Does anyone know if osm navigation apps can route you to your location using area's tagged with a full address?
