Discussions about mapping invented addresses shows exactly what I wanted to say: we get drowned in endless pointless counter-counter-examples of counter-examples. Rules would have to be invented for addresses separately, and then separately for each country or even more detailed. We once again get to the same old example of reflections/shadows in the end of the cave.
Vilnius is not a large city, with 0,5M population it has only ~60K addresses. Still EACH week ~50-100 addresses change (changes, additions, deletions). I do not imagine how would it be possible to capture all that "on the ground" without an army of mappers devoted specifically to this very boring and uninteresting but useful class - addresses. Correct me if I'm wrong, but regions (larger than 1 square km) with best (accurate and up to date) address coverage are the ones which use official address registries. P.S. I agree that when there is no open official source, physical observation is the only thing we have. -- Tomas _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
