Hi Jochen, The purpose for my inquiry on this topic was to see if there was an area that has been extensively addressed, and could be used for the demonstration site we are trying to develop for PAGC. Based on the thread, it appears the Karlsruhe is the most extensively addressed area at this

Hi Dan, My understanding (which may not be correct) is that the development of a house number range tagging scheme is something of an open issue at this point, but based on a thread from April on this list (house number revisited, started by Martijn van Exel) some people have been tagging
