Re: [Tagging] New tag for major recipient postcodes

Thinking about contact:addr:*, that sounds like a good idea. So it would be contact:addr:postcode_major_recipient Advantage is that it describes the purpose to be used for contacting the company, authority, hospital or whatever POI, but not e.g. for navigation, because it doesn't have a

Re: [Tagging] New tag for major recipient postcodes

I think one mapping practice with contact:* could help . 1- addr:* tag space is for generic addresses, used by all consumers 2- if there is ambiguity between adresses (postal, physical, ...) then use several namespaces 2a - addr:* tag space for physical address (used by geocoding, routing, ...)

Re: [Tagging] New tag for major recipient postcodes

Hi, The British terminology for this is a 'non-geographic postcode'. I suggest that this terminology might make a more appropriate general tag because a) The purpose of the tag to indicate the non-geographic nature of the postcode, not the volume of post the address recieves and b) Special

Re: [Tagging] New tag for major recipient postcodes

Hello, In stead of creating an additional tag and thus an additional country specific rule, why not using addr:full (or in the contact namespace if some prefer) to put this special addr that doesn't follow the standard country rule ? Regards, Marc Le 17. 12. 17 à 22:25, Rainer a écrit : >

They are used together with addr:city. The combination aoff addr:postcode_major_recipient and addr:city acts as an alias for addr:postcode & addr:city & addr:street & addr:housenumber. Am 17.12.2017 21:22, schrieb Warin: As they are not related to a physical address then why use the address

Re: [Tagging] New tag for major recipient postcodes

As they are not related to a physical address then why use the address space? Possibly the contact space? contact:mail:postcode=* - I believe 1800 numbers cannot be used internationally, so I don't use the ISD codes, that OSM requests, with these. On 18-Dec-17 12:36 AM,

Do you mean PO box? In some cities, massive PO boxes have a special Zip code/ postal code. It could be a property of the PObox address. Maybe an attribute at the POI is right, as POI use to list email addresses and web addresses, which are independent from actual physical address (as PO boxes

Re: [Tagging] New tag for major recipient postcodes

As these postcodes are kind of a virtual address that is not tied to a particular pysical location, my opinion would be _not to add them to OSM_, which is a geo database and not primarily a post code reference database. Typically for those companies in DE, there is an additional physical

[Tagging] New tag for major recipient postcodes

Hi all, recently I came across postal codes in POI addresses, which aren't the classic scheme addr:postcode & addr:city & addr:street & addr:housenumber. However it is a special postcode that is assigned to recipients that receive a big amount of post every day, typically big companies or
