How up-to-date is this PICC database ?
I randomly clicked on the map, and came in Orbais.
There I see at least 15 houses without red rectangle. Does this mean
that they are not in the database yet ?
15 houses out of how many?
Where else did you see the houses?
If you find out when the houses were built, then you have some answer to
your question.
What I can say is that no house of the very few I was interested in was
missing.
I determined that an aerial view they show is at least 12 years old.
But the houses that are missing there are on this map.

Please note that the "site" is replaced by the following one.
Their new maps are expectedly more up to date.
But this is a warning. Compare them.
If the old maps disappeared, we would lose very much.
And this is a less obvious reason why it's important to get the
permission to use them.
Hoping this can help.
Cheers,

Le Portail cartographique de la Région wallonne est remplacé par
le Géoportail de la Wallonie !
Le Portail cartographique de la Région wallonne méritait bien un petit
coup de jeune. C’est désormais chose faite, puisqueson successeur est
en ligne depuis peu.
Découvrez dès à présent le nouveau *_Géoportail de la Wallonie
<http://geoportail.wallonie.be>_*.
En pratique :
-Ne parlez plus de "Portail cartographique de la Région wallonne" mais
de "Géoportail de la Wallonie".
-Remplacez vos liens pointant vers http://cartographie.wallonie.be par
la nouvelle adresse http://geoportail.wallonie.be !
-Si vous ne trouvez pas sur le Géoportail de la Wallonie un contenu
que vous aviez l’habitude de trouver sur l’ancien portail, n’hésitez
pas à _nous contacter
<http://geoportail.wallonie.be/cms/home/contact.html>_.
-Le Portail cartographique de la Région wallonne restera encore en
ligne pendant quelques mois afin de vous assurer une transition la
plus douce possible. Toutefois certaines pages disposent déjà d'une
redirection automatique vers le nouveau Géoportail de la Wallonie.

Since the meeting in Lier , I've been getting myself into the
collection of housenumbers, I do have a few remarks / questions
since starting this:
- Accuracy of the GPS on Samsung S3 is low
see 2 below.
- Never trust Bing maps too much concerning aerial photo's, The
deepest zoomlevel seem to be offset (where available) but also
quite aged.
I have mentioned many times (mailing lists and e-mail to taggers)
that Bing zoom needs a per area JOSM offset correction.
Its a pity to notice careful mappers devote so much time making
maps offset because of Bing.
- Editing takes 4 times as much time as walking the walk
see 1 below (airplane speed).
- Many people don't even care about hanging up their housenumbers.
see 1 below.
- Walking in the dark is a bad idea, and watch out for people who
consider their housenumber a private property, be prepared to
make a run for it.
see 1 below.
- Map caching does not work in OSMPAD
- Always keep one eye for the road while scanning housenumbers,
since they seem to define the landscape here I want to vote for
the use of the tag 'barrier=dogshit', perhaps 'barrier=dogpile'
for the larger concentrations.
I saw people sticking little flags on dog poop but one still has
to watch one's steps.
There's an impressive amount of hardware
<http://www.befr.ebay.be/sch/i.html?&LH_AvailTo=23&_sop=15&_ipg=200&_kw=dog%20poop>
for that software, but nothing of what you need.
Resist using bags and putting them in the letterboxes, even if
that raises the discussion among the concerned people.
But if you walk your own dog while prospecting numbers, you will
feel the leash loosen at every danger ;-)
questions
- Do you know of any hardware that gives better GPS fixes and
comes with the ease-of-use OSMPAD delivers on entering numbers ?
- Are there any better tools/software around for this type of
work on Android ?
- What do you use?

The PICC maps <http://cartocit1.wallonie.be/pw/index.jsp> contains
very precise building mapping with street numbers.
You'll never do better than an airplane.
This is one, just one, of the reasons why I say it's of paramount
importance for us to be able to use PICC.
People say that the government agrees to make it available but
that they have no time to say yes.
This is why I wait and I'm doing very limited house numbering
business presently.

Does anyone have an opinion or recommendation about such cheap
devices
<http://www.tinydeal.com/index.php?main_page=ws_search_result&is_search=1&inc_subcat=&search_in_description=3&keyword=wifi+gps&is_input=&keyword=wifi+gps&cPath=&categories_id=54&disp_order=3>?
(there are other similar shops)
Usually, CN stuff is of fair quality but minimally documented and
supported (e.g. no "MP4" games).
But that's different for Android, isn't it?
>22€ means a risk of paying taxes, but, according to Test-Achats,
it looks like it's only VAT.
