That seems okay to me. We don't map to the renderer, so if it's both, it's both. If you feel strongly it should only be on one, let it be on the shop, and if two shops share the same housenumber, so be it, because it's true. >> The building I live in is mixed use.

No, it's one building, but I live in New York city, and buildings here are often a mix of retail and residential, with retail on the bottom floors and residential on the top floors, and they share the same housenumber. >> I've tagged the shops with the same addr:housenumber as the apartment >> complex, because that's the truth. > > So you are preferring to double-tag each house number.

I don't like complex relations, either as a mapper or as a tool author. Working with them as a mapper is a pain, and writing tools that understand them is also hard. >> Google is confused about this and thinks I live in a store, but >> Nominatim simply asks if I mean the apartment complex, or the >> shops.[1] > > Does Google use OSM Data at you place?

Google does not use OSM data anywhere, but in the US (where I live), Google has shop data and when I put in my address, it geocodes it to a shop. - Serge _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
