Re: [talk-au] Is addr:housenumber=2/20 likely to be valid?

[Ben Kelley]

Agreed.

In Australia "32A" refers to the street number.

(In the US, it is common that 32A means apartment A at street number 32, 
but not in Australia)

No, 32A would just go as the house number.

The other awkward one is when the POI's address is Level 5 of This 
Building. Should we include that as part of the address, usually under 
Unit Number, or just as level=*?

You should do both,

level=5 for indoor mapping to know which level the POI is on
addr:floor=5 indicates that the floor number forms part of the full address

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr:floor describes this a bit.

In answer to your question though, yes "1/50 Example St" notation is quite 
common. It is probably well understood, although not universally used.

"Unit 1, 50 Example St" is also used, as is "U 1 50 Example St".

These would all be tagged as:
addr:unit=1
addr:housenumber=50

Is it accurate? Is addr:housenumber=1/50 the standard and preferred

Re: [talk-au] Is addr:housenumber=2/20 likely to be valid?

[Dian Ågesson]

Hey Mateusz,

The "sub address" that the reporter is describing are subdivisions with 
individual unit numbers. The unit number should be mapped using 
addr:unit, rather than included as part of the house number.


For example, a postal address of 1/50-52 Smith St should be mapped as:

addr:unit=1

addr:housenumber=50-52

Unfortunately, the default carto rendering of unit numbers (with the 
unit after the house number, "50-52 1") looks wrong and confusing to 
Australians. Putting the unit with the housenumber is a way to force a 
"better" rendering.
