Well, in regards to Nominatim, from the horses mouth, so to speak:
<ThorstenEn> <https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=W&osmid=1024067995&class=building> https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=W&osmid=1024067995&class=building <ThorstenEn> why is the addr:unit being ignored here? <lonvia> Because it always is. <ThorstenEn> what is the reasoning for ignoring unit? <lonvia> Nobody has implemented it yet. <ThorstenEn> hm, I would have thought that's a pretty common case <simonpoole> ~1% maybe <ThorstenEn> 1% of all adresses is a pretty large absolute number <lonvia> Not common enough that anybody was willing to spend time and/or money. <simonpoole> together with addr:flats a bit more, but in total just 2 million <simonpoole> naturally there's probably a negative feedback loop there Cheers, Thorsten From: Dian Ågesson <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, 29 January 2022 20:30 To: Andrew Harvey <[email protected]> Cc: OSM Australian Talk List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [talk-au] Am I using addr:unit correctly? Thanks Andrew, I was having a bit of a crisis of confidence as unit numbers don't seem to render as I expected, nor does nominatim seem to know what to do with them. https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=W <https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=W&osmid=1024067995&class=building> &osmid=1024067995&class=building Dian On 2022-01-27 10:27, Andrew Harvey wrote: Your use of addr:unit looks correct here, I don't believe it needs to be subdivisions of a single building. You could have villa style townhouses where each dwelling is a separate building on a single site, where each building has it's own addr:unit and they all share the same addr:housenumber. We should update the wiki to describe this as a valid scenario.

The wiki seems to suggest that the addr:unit is for subdivisions of a single building though and doesn't seem to be the right tag? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr:unit Dian _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
