Did the same (duplicate the admin relation, change into a postal-code relation) for Bornem and there it works as well. Sas & Nattenhaasdonkstraat now show the correct 2880 postal code. It took several minutes though before all street segments were updated.
Since in Belgium the postal code areas coincide with village borders, we have to double them. This 1-to-1 mapping might not be the case in other countries. When we use those postal code boundaries, we do not have to put the postal code on streets or admin relations anymore. At least not for applications that understand those boundaries. regards m On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 9:25 PM, Marc Gemis <marc.ge...@gmail.com> wrote: > Bart, > > I just added a postal_code boundary for 2840 Rumst.
