I use associatedStreet relations for some time now but we might need to adjust it a bit: 1. More than one way with role=street should be allowed. Otherwise you end up with lots of relations and I do not know any editor which supports this relation when splitting ways. 2. the role=house should also work with closed ways and relations. For closed ways it is obviours since buildings are mapped as areas. I found many places where an area with several buildings has one address, sometimes theses areas are site or multipolygon relations. I found some streets with more than one postcode. For these streets I used one relation for each postcode and added the postcode in the relation's name + addr:street=[Streetname] I grouped them in a main relation which might be not needed. >> i was under the impression consensus was to type the full word, then >> renderers would shorten where necessary? apparently some mappers >> disagree though +1 cu colliar _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
