Thanks for the details, Brian. Maybe I'll make this a summer project for myself.<div><br></div><div>eric<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 6, 2011 at 11:04 AM, Brian Quinion <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:openstreetmap@brian.quinion.co.uk">openstreetmap@brian.quinion.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>The best way to improve the house number coverage is simply to add the house number to openstreetmap itself, either as number ranges, or as nodes or even as building polygons with numbers. Anything you add will be merged into the data set.<br>
<br>The same goes for fixing places where the tiger data is wrong - add the correct location to OSM and it will be used in preference.<br><br>--<br> Brian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On 6 May 2011 14:35, Eric Brelsford <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ebrelsford@gmail.com" target="_blank">ebrelsford@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

For the most part, the results are very usable. However, some streets don't seem to have any house numbers associated with them. For example, where </div>
