Go ahead and finish the script, but don't run it until we get a consensus here. > > 6) The "alt_name_*" tags shall include any other names found in the > > "name_*" > > tags which I can't make sense of.

For example: > name: Lorna Circle > name_1: 3805 South > name_1.prefix: W > name_1.full: West 3805 South Here is an instance where there are several names for a street: "Antelope Drive" is also "1700 South". East of "2000 West" it is also "State Highway 108", and west it is "State Highway 127". Also, through Syracuse it is signed as "Syracuse Road". (I'm still investigating the signs to see exactly what portions should be so labeled.) This means that some sort of numbered alternatives need to be in the OSM database. So, which set of tags do we use: "name_*" or "alt_name_*"? Whichever it is, it needs to be standardized. This should be done worldwide. - Val - _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
