Hi, For fast numbering, you might want to check out the technique I tried for Wharf Street, Forster NSW. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-32.18045&lon=152.51021&zoom=17&layers=M This uses the "address interpolation" technique. I wasn't sure at the time if I'd done it the right way because no

Hi Michael, I'm keen to read up on the process, so that I learn a little more about the mapping workflows on OSM. And happy to help, so let me know if I can be of any assistance. BTW, won't the bays be self closing during buffer creation (if the mouth is less than the offset)? Cheers, Paul.

My inclination is.. 1. Document accurately the process you have used 2. Note the activity required to increase the accuracy (reefs, bay closure) 3. Upload the borders currently there (things aren't working properly right now). 4. Work to increase the accuracy. 5. Update the borders accordingly.
