Hi Satoshi-san The block number system is also used in the Philippines mostly on new residential area development projects when street names do not exist yet. I was advised before to use the Karlsluhe standard to tag the block and lot number inside the addr:number tag however it does not work properly for the purpose of address search with generating maps for Garmin and is very tedious as plugins for shortcut addressing does not recognize alphanumeric information.
I also strongly believe that with these drawbacks, block number system tagging must be insisted in the Philippines. The addr:block_number came from the proposal 2 years ago that can be seen from this wiki http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/list Regards, Ervin M. *Schadow1 Expeditions* - A Filipino must not be a stranger to his own motherland. http://www.s1expeditions.com On Fri, Apr 11, 2014 at 4:07 PM, Satoshi IIDA <nyamp...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I've discussed about address tagging scheme for "city block address > system" on dev & Tagging ML. > > Block address system is used (maybe only) in Japan. > (It is addressing scheme related to "Block", not to "Street") > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2014-April/027825.html > > And Japanese mappers made propose "addr:blocknumber". > But in 2 month ago, "addr:block_number"(with underscore _ ) is used on > Philippine. > Here. > http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/32h > > I would like to confirm a few points. > > 1.
