Okay, now I'm confused! I know what Royal Mail considers my address to
be and that includes a post town. If post towns have "no place in OSM"
then presumably we have either adopted another addressing standard or
created our own. Can someone please point me in the direction of a
document describing how addresses in OpenStreetMap are derived?
Addresses are allocated by Local Authorities, not Royal Mail. I use the
address the LA recognise, plus the postcode which, AFAIK, Royal Mail do
issue.
Is this contentious?
How can you determine the postal town from a survey?
