Re: [talk-au] Blocks of land - residential housing
Just on this, can someone please explain why if I search 45 Wharf Street Forster, the result I get back is 45, Wharf Street, Forster Keys, Forster, 2428, Australiahttp://www.openstreetmap.org/?minlon=152.50084899902minlat=-32.190236816406maxlon=152.52086425781maxlat=-32.170233001709 Where does it get Forster Keys from? That's an adjacent suburb to the south.

If you search for any valid number on Wharf Street Forster it will point you there with surprising accuracy. Just draw a parallel way from corner to corner with start/end numbers and tell it whether odd or even. Very nice way to quickly make the map massively more useable. Search the wiki for more details.

I can't find anything definitive, and most of the common methods such as landuse=residential is set aside for large scale areas (which is correct IMO). I ensure the residential area doesn't cross any roads. ie. just the block. eg. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-34.062412lon=151.1523zoom=18layers=M I do this because it is more accurate. The road isn't residential and so shouldn't be covered by the area. It is a lot simpler that way, because it is very easy to exclude the corner shop, which is landuse=retail, or the park on the corner. Tracing the building, or even just a center point node, you can add the type of building as apartment, house, cabin etc. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I like the address numbers, but I'd prefer that they were on the building outlines. Also, the addr:housenumber should also have addr:street, iirc. I'm not a fan of mapping property lines as shown in the untagged ways in that area, for reasons that have been discussed amply on talk@ and talk-us@. To summarize; we can't know or guess where the property line is, in many jurisdictions there will be a set back from physical objects that we can see like the road or fence. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

OSM is never going to become a cadastral map just from tracing. The numbers are the important info. Some people seem to like tracing building outlines. This looks pretty on the rendering, but I personally don't think the effort to reward is there when there are so many other features untraced.
