I can't speak for certain about in the US, but on one summer work term I lived in a house with an A suffix, and found out lots about addressing when trying to get the cable installers to come to the right house. In this case the A was part of the house number and 112A had no connection to 112. What I see around here more often is suite numbers (e.g. 101, 102) that are placed in front of the number when written out, but sometimes are placed after on forms. Eg http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1052967131 where I mapped it as addr:housenumber=#104-7885 I don't view these types of addresses as a significant problem because OSM is not well-suited for mapping of multi-story buildings with many shops inside. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
