I was aware that LAs have a role in numbering and naming new streets but I was unaware that they assigned full addresses. Perhaps someone could take pity on this poor simpleton and explain how this works. I've grabbed my GPS, wandered down "High Street" and added a waymark outside number 10. When I get back home how do I go about converting this data into a full address that I can add to OSM? > Is this contentious?

In my local area all addresses within a postcode district share the same post town. -- Regards, Andy Street _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
