I'm still using this: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Karlsruhe_schema#Single_house_next_to_the_way I'm not aware of changes here, other than not requiring addr:city, addr:state, etc. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
