I just would not assume that an address is numerical. There are house numbers in Germany like 25a, 25b, 25c, ... or even 14 ½. They just are what they are. This happens when a lot is divided up. And we don't have 5-digit house numbers. Typically they are consecutive with even numbers on one side and odd numbers on the other. The above are the alway present exceptions to the rule. And of course there are other numbering schemes. Matthias ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

But, here's one example. There only appear to be a few of these per county. I *think* they're mostly just garbage. The other county that I looked at had it isolated to this court: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=LO98+SE +Braemark +Ct&sll=45.429105,-122.543643&sspn=0.0016,0.002406&ie=UTF8&hq=LO98+SE +Braemark&hnear=Connecticut&ll=45.429107,-122.543644&spn=0.003185,0.004812&z=18 But, as you can see, there's at most one house on that thing and there was a whole range of addresses. -- Dave ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Most of the non-integer ones around here are within trailer parks. -- From: "SteveC" Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 5:05 PM To: "Dave Hansen" Cc: "Talk-us" Subject: Re: [Talk-us] Non-Integer addresses > any idea where...? maybe we could get some locals to investigate what they > are? ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Non-Integer addresses
Just out of curiosity, how do our European companeros deal with things like "2-Bis" ? Most of the addresses I have seen in the US with letters tend to be campuses and business parks as opposed to street addresses. A legit address in France -- #2 rear would be my rough translation.

Assuming the first pair and last pair are each on the same segment, my intuition would be that one refers to 9-01, 9-02, 9-03... and the second to K200, K201, K202..., but I can't think of a good algorithm to match these that wouldn't fail with the addresses Ian Dees mentioned that have two independent integers in one alphanumeric string.

Re: [Talk-us] Non-Integer addresses
As an example, we have WxyzNabc addressing in the western suburbs of Milwaukee: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=43.208108,-88.161442&spn=0.003003,0.003428&z=18&iwloc=lyrftr:m,15548394324319276506,43.208382,-88.162156 The W203N10466 value is the actual numerical address (and appears on post boxes like it was the "100" part of "100 Main St.").

any idea where...? maybe we could get some locals to investigate what they are?
