Re: [talk-au] How to properly add address tags when multiple buildings share a housenumber?
Hi Peter, If you are tagging unit addresses in Orange NSW, I see a lot (but not all) of strata complexes actually have the address with unit number in the NSW spatial services addressing theme, despite not being displayed in the DCS NSW Base Map layer. This is a useful data source where there is restricted access, especially in strata. We have a waiver to use spatial services data such as this. https://portal.spatial.nsw.gov.au/portal/home/webmap/viewer.html?useExisting=1=d3cf7c7edef14ca18248c6dc5fcaff96 Hope you find it useful. I am mapping in the Blue Mountains and have done a bit of work in Orange. A few nearby mappers are active in the OSM World discord server that was mentioned recently in the talk-au list if you'd like to join us for casual discussion.

Good to know! Thank you. Looking at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr more carefully, it does say that adding an address to a node within the site outline is fine, thanks for the pointer. I'm a little wary of tagging the same housenumber on the site way and a node, as josm throws a validation warning (and a lot of my edits have been around removing validation problems ;) ). But I think I can see how this might be a valid use. > If there are multiple dwellings on the complex with the same housenumber, you > could add the addr:housenumber to every dwelling in the lot and consider > adding addr:unit or addr:flats to each as necessary. Oh, `addr:unit` looks like it could be a good option. Unfortunately, for a lot of these I don't have ready access to the unit numbers - at the end of the day they're on private property so I'd be inferring the majority based on what I can see from the footpath - so was planning on just mapping the street address for the lot.

Certainly the way I do it, & it seems to work! eg https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/422427220#map=19/-28.08664/153.42501 Although OSM doesn't render the number, Osmand, at least, will find the address!

Re: [talk-au] How to properly add address tags when multiple buildings share a housenumber?
Hi Peter, The tag addr:housenumber does not render on non-building areas, but it is still useful to include on the complex lot bounds to assist geocoding. You can read more about this at https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1746 Note that adding a node tagged with addr:housenumber at the centre of the complex will render on osm.org. If there are multiple dwellings on the complex with the same housenumber, you could add the addr:housenumber to every dwelling in the lot and consider adding addr:unit or addr:flats to each as necessary.

[talk-au] How to properly add address tags when multiple buildings share a housenumber?
Hey folks. I'm just getting started contributing to OpenStreetMap, adding address information for my local area. I've just started working in an area with heavy residential subdivision; blocks being split with several freestanding dwellings. There's a fairly pathological example at https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/-33.28505/149.08483 , but there's a lot of smaller subdivisions around it. The wiki at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses#Multiple_buildings_for_one_housenumber suggests adding a perimeter and addr tags to it. And a little further digging around I found https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dresidential#Apartment_Complexes , which suggests `landuse=residential` is appropriate for this sort of use. So I created an area around the property boundary based on the NSW DCS Base Map, added `landuse=residential`, then appropriate `addr:housenumber` and `addr:street` tags. JOSM renders this how I'd expect, with an outline around the area and the housenumber displayed in the middle of the area. But the map tiles I see on opnstreeetmap.org only show the outline of the area, and do not display a housenumber. Is this the right approach for doing this? Am I just missing something stupid to get this to work, or should I drop this plan and just stick to numbering the building closest to the street? Thanks for any advice, -- Peter___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
