This tag only comes to give a standard to something that already is being mapped off the cuff. When you search by "KM" in https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/addr:housenumber#values you will find 2758 addr:housenumber that contains "KM" as part of their values. Such information can be even found in addr:street itself. The string "KM " is found 3025 times as part of the value of addr:street (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/addr:street#values), and 1864 times as part of addr:full (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/addr:full#values). And who knows how many times people didn't add this information just why they couldn't find a specific tag for it.

I am not sure about to keep "Km". It might be understandable by the key 'addr:milestone' itself. However, a reason to keep "Km" and "Mi" as a prefix would be to differentiate each other. Anyways I think that "." must go according to the "International System of Units". > Could you please give us an example photo, Jorge? I don't know if such examples could be easily found as images. Although this is a very common situation in Brazil, it's rare when people print it in the facade of a building, for example. As an example of an image, that I personally know, I can present this (https://imgur.com/a/qxiBmOo) that stands for this (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/376981766). The image is not good enough but it's printed "Av. Pref. Evandro Behr | Km 8 . Nº 7921". But... I can present to you guys how many examples of links as you want. I could say that most of the POIs at highways in rural areas have milestone as part of their address. Some examples in Brazil: * http://agrum.com.br/contato.html * https://www.kmweg.com/company/locations/brazil/santa-maria.html * http://lisalog.com.br/contato/ * https://www.vilma.com.br/a-vilma/unidades/ * https://portalgirassol.com.br/localizacao/ * http://www.agrex.com.br/contato/ * http://www.goldencargo.com.br/site2/index.php/estrutura/rede-de-filiais * https://www.cantupneus.com.br/br/filiais * http://www.jadetransportes.com.br/filiais/ > As they are rare they are either not at all in public records or > with manipulating the km marker into the Housenumber.

As in Brazil, it's widely used in rural areas, they are in public records as well. They are used many times even there is a determined value to addr:housenumber, so 'addr:milestone' could be used with or without 'addr:housenumber', and always with 'addr:street'. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
