Post office boxes are located at a post office usually, and that is mapped as amenity=post_office - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dpost_office > other delivery types: > Roadside Delivery RSD > Roadside Mail Box/Bag RMB Are these letter boxes located next to the road, but rather far away from the house? These are mapped as amenity=letter_box, I believe? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dletter_box There is also amenity=post_box for a device where you deposite outgoing letters: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dpost_box Is anything else missing, which can't be mapped with these tags or with Key:addr:* ? If none of the common values of addr:* will work, you can use addr:full=* https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/addr%3Afull -- Joseph Eisenberg On 3/19/20, Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > While there are methods of entering street addresses there don't appear > to be any way to enter addresses that use Post Office Boxes and other > delivery types. > > There is a proposal to may the existence of PO Boxes but no way to enter the > address data for those that use them. > > As well as PO Boxes there exits several types of delivery methods in > Australia, below are listed all of the officially accepted types with their > officially accepted abbreviations. > > Care of Post Office CARE PO > > Community Mail Agent.
