Re: [OSM-talk-be] meerdere postcodes voor één gemeente
The advice below isn't correct. We don't need alternatives, we need to improve the postal_code boundaries to encompass those houses that are on the wrong side of the postal code. > That being said, using addr:postcode on boundary relations is rather uncommon > practice.

Postal code's on administrative boundaries will throw a JOSM warning when validating. I in fact delete those, they add no value to geocoding at all, and will not be looked at. However, in Flanders, we have almost a complete coverage in terms of postal code boundaries. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dpostal_code There is still a lot of work in the rest of the country to complete those, but they are perfect for handling border cases. The AGIV/CRAB tool also takes those into account, so if you mess up the postal code, even though everything else is fine, you will see a 'error/wrong' on the completion results. ( see http://aptum.bitless.be/ ) To see how complete this is, you can use overpass: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/qIO Glenn ___ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be

Thanks, I won't touch it then :-) -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: Yves bxl-forever [mailto:bxl-fore...@linuxmail.org] Verzonden: maandag 31 juli 2017 10:35 Aan: talk-be@openstreetmap.org Onderwerp: Re: [OSM-talk-be] meerdere postcodes voor één gemeente Hi, Yes, it is a fact that in Belgium, there can be several postcodes for one same commune/gemeente. Moreover, one same postcode can span over several communes/gemeenten too. Therefore, and contrary to popular belief, we should never expect a one-to-one correspondence between addr:postcode and addr:city. Osmose’s complain looks here like a false positive because it makes sense to have multiple values. A spectacular example is the City of Brussels with 8 postcodes: 1000, 1020, 1120 and 1130 on its own, and 1030, 1040, 1050 and 1070, which it shares with other communes (respectively Schaarbeek, Etterbeek, Ixelles/Elsene and Anderlecht). That being said, using addr:postcode on boundary relations is rather uncommon practice. Having another relation for Bellem with role=subarea and using addr:postcode on its administrative centre could be considered as an alternative. Have a great day.

Hi all, Osmose complains that my hometown has two postal codes: http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/721879 In fact, 9880 is the "general" postal code for Aalter, but there is also 9881, which is used for Bellem, a town that is part of Aalter (deelgemeente). Should the relation for Aalter (admin_level=8) only contain the 9880 postal code? Or is this a false positive from Osmose?
