We've had this discussion before. Here in my part of the USA, street addresses were renumbered for the convenience of the fire, police, and rescue squads. Cuz, well, everybody wants them to be able to find your house. They were renumbered according to the linear distance down your road. So ... if you know an address at the beginning of the road, and at the end of the road, you know the addresses of all the houses using linear interpolation. If you doubt me, feel free to test this theory on Pleasant Valley Road, Potsdam NY. I've entered addresses by hand AND added addresses via an import of cadastral data. Those line up very well, and I predict that if you try linearly interpolating, you'll get the same results. But don't trust my prediction ... try it for yourself. If I'm wrong, then you can prove it to me! -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
