It STILL irritates me that in some places every building gets the full list of entries. In which ever country of the world. In the UK the 'addressable object' data + postcode is all that is required since the rest can be cloned from the postcode - or some other unique ID for the related object. The structure should support this method of working and then editors could pull up matching data where necessary. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
