One implied source for this is in the default.style for osm2pgsql, which only uses node,way addr:flats text polygon node,way addr:housenumber text linear node,way addr:interpolation text linear of the addr:* keys when loading the postigs database for a tile server. I'm not sure why addr:postcode is dropped. Could be because of the sparse use of postcodes in OSM. addr:flats would probably be good to add for "unit" numbers, etc. Best regards, Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
