Hi Dave,
CPO centroids are in fact _not_ centroids at all. The are delivery points
nearest to the centroid. I've been using them a lot and they are indeed very
accurate in identifying buildings or entrances.
To be fair, some postcodes are given approximate coordinates (this usually
happens on
Only postbox reference numbers, which are somewhat related to local postcodes
(share the first few characters). It may still be useful to add such quest to
StreetComplete.
Retail businesses and amenities tend to advertise their full addresses,
including a postcode but there is no rule to that.

Thank you for your opinion, Robert. I will suspend adding postcod
These should reasonably easy to remove from the dataset, easier than checking
for existing addresses. Thanks for the suggestion.

I will try to avoid adding postcodes in these cases. Basically, narrow down the
list of postcodes to add to these that don't have any neighbouring objects with
addr: tags.

I haven't seen such guidelines for the UK myself. In general people prefer
having address tags on buildings. Separate address points are more of a stop
gap solution until building shapes are sufficiently accurate.
An exception is addresses on entrances, which some mappers seem to prefer. I

How about tagging localities as addr:locality|sublocality _and_

can be added separately and at different times?

RM calls "dependent
thoroughfares". For these I would simply use addr:place, which can already be
combined with addr:housename and addr:housenumber. Alternatively we could make
a new tag like addr:campus.

d. For this reason I suggested using addr:place as a dependent
thoroughfare.This would only require allowing both street and place to be
defined together.

addr:place could be used as "dependent thoroughfare" with no(?) other changes.

It should still be possible to encode a typical full address with tags.
Sometimes people will want extract the full address from OSM, sometimes they
will want to search for a part of it. Even if someone is searching for a house
number
At low level (commercial areas, academic campuses, hospitals) that's not really
the case. They are not as formalised as admin areas.

Hi,
When working on post codes in East Anglia I realised the current address
tagging scheme is insufficient for even fairly basic scenarios. I have already
discussed the issues with some of the most experienced mappers and like to
bring these issues to your attention. Robert has summarised his
