Hi Simon, Thanks for bringing that up to me! I hadn't considered that as I haven't run into it yet in the urban areas I'm dealing with. > There is a document from the local MD which has explanation/example plans > (which I have a copy of if you want it, 745kByte) or I can send you a > lat/long to check out. Sure, please send that information along to me and I can keep it in mind when I get into the rural areas of Manitoba. I haven't looked at how the StatCan data works in rural areas; they may only have address information on the specific part of the road where its necessary, but I'm not sure. The complication I can see myself running into with irregular numbering is matching where the numbered portion starts and ends in the OSM data compared to the NRN data. In the city the numbering starts at an intersection and goes to the next intersection so its easy to fit the NRN interpolation ways into the OSM data, even if they're not the same size/shape as the OSM data If there is a segment of addressed data in the middle of a rural road it might be fun to try and figure out where that maps to in the OSM data. I'll have to look at the NRN data more closely to see if I can find an instance of this in Manitoba. Thanks!
