I hadn't considered active bug reporting like this based on user feedback but reports like this could be useful to find holes in the data set. > The following two suggestions would make the tool more useful, but they might > be out of scope if your intention is strictly to show fully-tagged Karlsruhe > schema data and nothing else. I'm trying to not restrict myself. I'm simply using the Karlsruhe Schema as a starting point, I'm happy to take in extra information where it will be useful. > - Have you considered using the Code Point Open data as a fallback in case the > postcode is not in OSM?

First I need to convert the OS grid refs to OSM coordinates. > - Similarly if a street is found but has no house numbers, zoom to that > street. Again, good idea.
