Processing addresses in my opinion has to be smart enough to handle all this. When I process OSM-data for mobile devices everything is removed that is not useful and I would hope other software is also smart enough to keep only the data it needs. I don't know of any mobile app that consumes

I'll rest my case for the associatedStreet relation. I was indeed talking about mobile editors like Vespucci or iLoE, not something like OsmAND, which does preprocess the data. I won't stop adding them myself every once in a while, but that won't change much, as adresses are not what I'm

I'm using autosave as well, don't see the problems that you encounter. Perhaps you have much larger changesets ? :-) Does autosave write everything ? Or only the things that are changed ? Just curious to pinpoint the exact cause of the long autosaves you encounter. m On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at

The areas I'm working with are very large (for the bus routes). Now the autosaves take 15-20 seconds (on SSD). That will change when all the adresses will have been added. But maybe it will change anyway. AS relations or not. I'll find a solution, no problem. The problem is rather that when all

2013-11-15 Thread Marc Gemis
I didn't say that we have to repeat the addr:postcode, or addr:province, etc. That's not taken from the node/building anyway. There we really need an area representing the postcode. So repeating the address field or keeping a reference to another table does make a huge difference, a varchar(1024)

Thanks Ben. I've also posted it on help.openstreetmap.org, hoping that some Nominatim expert/developer will pick it up and explain what's going on. And indeed the complexity of the street has nothing to do with it. It could happen anywhere else I assume. regards m On Thu, Nov 14, 2013 at 9:26

This is how it trickles down to that address: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=9140432282 The name comes from an incorrect name tag on this way: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/22949350 the 2nd way from the Nodes list is why this is getting matched. (

Glenn, I'm not really seeing it yet. Do you mean that the match is there because the segment with two names is also in the associatedStreet relation? http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/2594673 ... and according to what marc is saying these tags are correct?

Hey Ben, I see the why and how, but I admit I don't see how to fix this yet and I have trouble explaining. It's using the general tag from http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/22949350 So it's ignoring name:left , name:right. So that implementation is not picked up for sure. I think
