I'm not sure... for me adresss information are "connected" to street not building, let me explain. An adress give you the opportunity to find you way to where you want to go (8th Adam Street). Connecting the address to the building let you know where is the building not from where to go there ; some situation are complex and you don't know from what street you can go to this particular building. Connecting to the street can make routing software easy to build the route to go from your location to the adress and it will go the right route (because the adress is on th street) and avoid mistake by routing you the the back of the building (you then have to take other streets to go to the entrance). Of cours connecting to the street dont indicate the building exactly. For me connecting the the street is better for routing and postal adress (find the postbox); connecting to building is more precise in therm of location but less useful... -- Pierre-Alain Dorange _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
