I agree that a separate solution would be best for multi-storey offices. A tradeoff with a separate solution is that frequently I want to map a POI or something, but getting an actual street address that could be used for directory linking is difficult. Numbers are faded, damaged, or non-existent. Today, I just place the POI / shop at the geographic location, then move on. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
