That data will be available, but it does not stop using the method to add it to the OSM data currently. If you are adding 50 house numbers you end up using the copy function to add a vast amount of data where one only needs a small subset of that in practice! A lot of postcodes are currently missing and it would be nice simply to import the raw missing stuff, but it does not prevent good practice generally? -- 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
