Hi

I understand that it is useful to use addr:place for neighborhoods, hamlets, and isolated dwellings etc. But here, it is a quite regular street address, just that the referenced feature is not a highway, but a square (we could limit it to place=square). So why should this be ruled out categorically? It does not read addr:highway, does it?

I think OSM Inspector should check that there is *some* entity close by that matches the street name, to avoid spelling mistakes etc. In another case, the street name actually references a park, e.g here
<http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=addresses&lon=7.61170&lat=47.55898&zoom=18&overlays=street_not_found>
So should I reference that with addr:park? Or map the park as a place, or as a highway? Rather not, eh?

So I propose to be more flexible here. Too many "false positives" in the QA tools are frustrating to the users, and shadow the real mistakes.

Regards
Johannes


Hi

I'd rather use addr:place="Square Name" in that case. In don't agree
that addr:place is 'intended for larger objects like "villages,
islands, territorial zones"'. I also use addr:place e.g. for
settlements (place=neighbourhood) or hamlets, if there is no street
with the addresses' name (example: [^1]).

[^1]:

Hi

I'm the main author of the address view of Geofabrik's OSM inspector: 
http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=addresses , a QA tool for OSM, whose 
sourcecode you can find at https://github.com/ltog/osmi-addresses/

Some time ago I received the following issue and subsequent pull request:

- https://github.com/ltog/osmi-addresses/issues/111
- https://github.com/ltog/osmi-addresses/pull/115

The submitter johsin18 proposes the following:

Given a (node|way) with addr:street=theName and a (node|way) with place=square, name=theName, 
the first object should logically be tied to the second. Correspondingly, osmi-addresses should 
recognize this and not display it as an error as it is currently the case, e.g. at: 
http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=addresses&lon=7.59448&lat=47.54290&zoom=18&overlays=buildings,buildings_with_addresses,postal_code,entrances_deprecated,entrances,no_addr_street,street_not_found,place_not_found,misformatted_housenumber,nodes_with_addresses_defined,nodes_with_addresses_interpolated,interpolation,interpolation_errors,connection_lines,nearest_points,nearest_roads,nearest_areas,addrx_on_nonclosed_way

osmi-addresses currently expects either
addr:street=* used in combination with highway=*, name=*
or
addr:place=* used in combination with place=*, name=*

Both myself and the current maintainer of osmi-addresses (=Nakaner) are unsure 
if this proposed change would be appreciated by the larger public or not. We 
are therefore seeking your opinion.

Best regards

Lukas
