Re: [OSM-talk] combining nodes with ways

I think in some cases the node could be removed and in others copying the information across then deleting the unwanted tags will work fine so a mixture of both solutions will work. At the moment I'm exploring the possibilities. We appear to have a fair chunk of node only addresses for

Re: [OSM-talk] combining nodes with ways

Actually Frank has got a point. We could use a specialization approach and add postal codes on cityes that support this scheme (France, Spain). Then, for cities that don't use this scheme (as you said CA, US, UK), we can add single postal codes to POI until the post gives us the rights to

Re: [OSM-talk] combining nodes with ways

But then you remove the node. I had the impression the OP wanted to keep the POI node, but copy/move address information onto the building. You can easily copy all tags from one object to another, (select first, select target, shift-R), but then you also copy the POI tags, not only the address

Re: [OSM-talk] combining nodes with ways

As far as I know you cannot know the extend of "wonderland" until you asked all people in Wonderland what their postcode is. "Wonderland" or ZIP-code "area" is only defined by the post, and does not match any administrative boundary. This is the case for Canada, US and UK. Unlike Belgium or

Re: [OSM-talk] combining nodes with ways

In Canada Postal Codes are not open data so the only way they can be used is on an individual address. City is not repeated in the addreses nor is province or country for the most part but with crowd sourcing mappers each tends to go their own way. I agree it isn't clean and it does clutter up

Re: [OSM-talk] combining nodes with ways

Hi John, The closest thing to what you want is a GIS spatial join. http://www.qgistutorials.com/en/docs/performing_spatial_joins.html. I am not aware of any OSM tool that can perform it. Good luck Gianfranco On 11 August 2016 at 12:42, john whelan wrote: > Not quite

Re: [OSM-talk] combining nodes with ways

Not quite what I'm looking for. The building is defined as an area but often has no address information, within the building are a number of nodes one or more of which has address information which is valid for the entire building. So what I'm interested in is way to either move the tags to the

[OSM-talk] combining nodes with ways

Stats Canada is looking at using OSM as a source of data. They are particularly interested in buildings and associated attributes in Ottawa and Gatineau. When I look at Ottawa there are a number of shopping malls, every store has the same address and postcode except they might have a different
