I've solved this problem by putting the address on the building. If the building also has a POI tag such as amenity=fuel, I move this tag to a new POI node. I place the POI node so that both the addr:housenumber render along with the POI information. Addresses and buildings don't change as much as how busiensses can come and go. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
