In other parts of the world house name or landmarks are used for navigation. I like that although uncommon nowadays. I think landmarks are particularly important for walking routing. I have tagged names of large Appartement Blocks If the name is prominently displayed outside. For that I have used name=
Station/homestead names are usefull for navigation in the remoter regions of Australia.

I don't think the wiki implies that you should not add house name if you add house number, but I agree it's not generally useful in terms of delivering mail in Australia. - Ben.

While these exist they are seldom required for postal addresses so the should not be placed into addr:housename=* but rather into name=*. The wiki specifically implies if there is a addr:housenumber there should be no addr:housename. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr#Commonly_used_subkeys Secondly remote addresses - Roadside Mail Box/Bag, Roadside Mail Service, Private Bag etc. These are hard to find out how to map them on the wiki, I think they need to go into the Australian Tagging guidelines. The answer is the same for PO boxes - use addr:full=* Thoughts? _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org <mailto:Talk-au@openstreetmap.org> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
