Except when it doesn't, because the authors decided that particular type of object shouldn't have an address. And even that isn't a great problem, because entering addr: into the bare tag area and pressing tab on the first suggestion gets the set of address fields to appear. Except when it doesn't because the authors decided that particular type of object really shouldn't have an address under any circumstances whatsoever, then you have to enter everything via bare tags (if you can remember the key values). Something I found out a few hours ago when I added a watermill. A working watermill. With an address. It seems that iD thinks watermills shouldn't have addresses under any circumstances whatsoever. > > Statistically, there are 95 million housenumbers and 690.000 housenames in > the db as of now. > I'd guess a lot of those 690,000 are in Wales, going by my experience. -- Paul
