Going by that theory how do you post code 2 farms that are 1mile appart but have the same postcode and are on different roads?
For the moment I think it make sense to put postcodes on nodes untill we can get enough data to then know the extent of that post code area. Then we can that set out to remove the extra data (scripted) and put in the ways but for now we just need the postcodes. I understand there are exceptions to the rules but not all of us live in towns and cities where everything was setup correctly. But its not resticed just to the countryside I could take you arround a local town that has some very interesting ways to number houses. I used to work for a pitza delivery firm and we had to build up our local knowledge. That is why I am so keen to improve the locating abilities of the osm because I have to deal with lost delivery drivers on a regular basis beecuase of houses and postcodes being a little random.

I've not come across that - if a street has more than one post code, doesn't it just get split along its length? If you really do get different post codes on opposite sides, you could have a postcode:left and postcode:right type pair of tags though. - Steve xmpp:[email protected] <xmpp%[email protected]> sip:[email protected] <sip%[email protected]> http://www.nexusuk.org/Serva... _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http:...
