Hi,I am trying to make sure I tag addresses correctly. I am currently trying to understand how to map in my area.
The postal addresses are like: 99 Postal Street Smalltown Largertown West Yorks XY9 7GYSmalltown is geographically separate to Largertown, which however is the Postal Town. Omitting Smalltown from the address is probably correct postally-speaking, but local residents would object as Smalltown is seen as completely separate to other places under the same Postal Town.
Currently tagging as - addr:housenumber=99 addr:street=Postal Street addr:city=Smalltown, Largertown But I am pretty sure this is wrong.There is a page at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Rjw62/UK_Address_Mapping which mentions "suggested tags" but there is no evidence that this is in use. If correct I would be tagging as -
addr:housenumber=99 addr:street=Postal Street addr:town=Smalltown addr:city=Largertown Hoping someone can advise me as to the correct way to tag for the UK... Dave Abbott (OSM user DaveyPorcy)
