I think you're spot on about the Karlsruhe schema. In general it's a good fit for the US. Ideally, instead of creating ways to interpolate along we'd get parcel and/or building data freed from somewhere and put the addresses on those.

I agree. For some reason, I missed that in the last rendering. Btw, state and county borders in Massachusetts are a bit of a mess, so some cleanup of the actual OSM data might be necessary for these to be useful. - Lars -- Lars Ahlzen l...@ahlzen.com ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
[Talk-us] Addresses and Tiger
I have been playing around with the TIGER 2008 data, which, for some of the counties around Atlanta seems to be much better than the old data. If I import it for some of the counties, though, I would like to import the addresses in a format that would be usable for routing software. The most popular schema seems to be the Karlsruhe Schema, but making use of it would require generating three OSM ways for each TIGER way - one on either side to represent the houses on that side of the road. That seems unnecessarily complex, but there does not seem to be any widely accepted schema that places the data on the way itself. Does anyone have any thoughts on that question? ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] TopOSM update
Very impressive! It is one of the nicest looking maps on the web in my opinion.

[Talk-us] Tiger to OSM conversion script
I have placed a very basic TIGER shapefile to OSM conversion script on subversion at: http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/import/tiger2osm/ I would not recommend it for importing data into OSM, but it is good enough to compare the new shapefiles to the old Tiger / Line data that is already in OSM, in order to discover if your county has been upgraded. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
