</div></div>I don't know Chicago specifically, but I would expect there to be very<br>
little addressing data in OpenStreetMap for there. If you start adding<br>
some addressing to OpenStreetMap (say, for your local neighborhood),<br>
then you'll see things start improving. After that, you'll need to get<br>
lots of mappers active across the city to get a good level of<br>
addressing data.<br>
<br>
It's not really possible to expect the gazatteer to resolve the<br>
addresses without the information being put into OpenStreetMap, and in<br>
most areas there is fairly patchy coverage.<br></blockquote><div><br>Oh, I see... It sounds I'm out of luck then with this. =( <br><br>I had thought gazetteer main purpose was this, so I assume it would be possible...<br>
