Sounds good Martin. I have about 3000-5000 houses to tag, I'll tag the beginning and ending house addresses, on each street, if you'll tag the 15-20 individual houses in between. They're in the satellite images, so it shouldn't be a problem. Just kidding, but hopefully you'll get the point that it's a pretty labor intensive job, and interpolation, with an appropriate skip factor would make the job a lot more likely to eventually reach completion. In the area I'm working, most of the lots on these streets have fairly uniform width at the street, so interpolation will rarely be in error by a full physical street address. Some of this has been said before, but unfortunately this subject got hijacked to something about comparing Tiger vs. Karlsruhe schemae and you have to go back a few days to find the discussion that truly relates to the subject of the thread. Based on Richard Bullock's suggestion, I have added the numeric increment to the definition for the tag addr:interpolation=*, and additional information under Using interpolation on the Key:addr wiki page. I'll start tagging street addresses this way as soon as time permits. I noticed that Mapnik already renders the way properly, although there is no way to verify the increment. OSMARender apparently detects an invalid interpolation value and renders the end point nodes, but not the way, at present. -- Randy _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
