I'm not sure either of your two examples are the best way, and I suspect the answer is likely to be "opinions vary". Your example of individual houses would, in my opinion, be the better of the two if it had house numbers. The long buildings with nodes to mark house numbers are better than nothing. Buildings with no other information than just an outline are nothing but visual clutter which makes it harder to see where still needs address surveying without zooming in close (I'm sure my opinion will upset a lot of people who spend ages sitting there tracing them, but when I've come to add house numbers in the past it is often easier to delete the building outlines and start again). Here are some other examples you might like to look at. Maldon, Essex https://osm.org/go/0EFrpAyFq?m= Being picky, I think the individual property boundaries are perhaps a bit over the top, but if they are going to be added then there probably needs to be access to the house from the street rather than a solid barrier. Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham https://osm.org/go/euzN_rS4l--?m= Nottingham https://osm.org/go/eu8bMaoJB-- East Dulwich https://osm.org/go/euuuXeO_c-- Clacton-on-Sea https://osm.org/go/0EHmQd7ib Apart from the last I just picked places at random and zoomed in. The level of detail varies, but what seems to be common is the individual outlines with an address on each. I hope this helps, Ed _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
