Hallo Chris, since I'm the author of both series of houses that you refer to, I thought it might be a good idea to give some background information.
Oud-Turnhout - Data accumulated during a survey, aka a walk (along the regional walking network) - houses drawn using Bing aerial images Begijnhof - Source: wikipedia/onroerend erfgoed/AGIV CRAB - houses drawn using AGIV aerial images - special tags for heritage - site-relations for common heritage tags - result of heritage tags, see http://geschichtskarten.openstreetmap.de/historische_objekte/translate/nl/index-nl.html?zoom=18&lat=51.3265&lon=4.94405&layers=B0000FFTT In both cases: - building=house - addr:street= - addr:housenumber= propably I've put all houses and street segments in an associatedStreet-relation. All editing was done with JOSM. The green lines that you see in the rendering of geofrabrik are not in OSM. That's something that they added, perhaps because the house is part of an associatedStreet relation. If you look at http://osm.org/go/0EuAjOEg9--?way=198944817, you see that there is no "green line" as for the priorities. I'll agree with Jo, map something that interests you. possibilities: maxspeeds, maxheights, maxweights, lanes + destination ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:destination), missing walking paths, additions + fixes to walking/cycling networks regards m On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 2:15 PM, Chris Van Bael <chris.van.b...@gmail.com>wrote: > Ok, > I'm not new on this list, but the more I read here, the more I'm afraid I > will break something when I want to add stuff. > > A few years ago I added some streets through GPS coordinates. > Most of that work is finished, now it seems to be more about drawing > houses, coupling them to the street, etc. > I have absolutely no idea on how to add these things. > > A very simple example, in Oud-Turnhout: > > http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=addresses&lon=4.98181&lat=51.33488&zoom=17&overlays=buildings,buildings_with_addresses,postal_code,nodes_with_addresses_defined,nodes_with_addresses_interpolated,no_addr_street,street_not_found,interpolation,interpolation_errors,connection_lines,nearest_points,nearest_roads > You see that most houses are drawn (they are brown), but not all 'shacks' > in the backyard are. > How do I make in the easiest way the connection to the street?
