OSM Conflator works only with nodes, except when it updates tags on<br>
polygons. If you like mapping building outlines, please do a challenge<br>
for MapRoulette after this import. Brandify doesn't have building outlines.<br>

A post-import MapRoulette challenge would make sense. A natural progression when adding SuperCenter store detail is to add the POIs as separate nodes. It should be no problem when adding them first except that the address would logically belong to the building unless the embedded stores have their own unit/suite number.<span class=""><br>

De-abbreviating street names and distinguishing "Fourth Street of Oaks"<br>
from "4, Street of Oaks" is a very complex task, and unrelated to the<br>
importing subject. I thought the street address from the source data<br>
would be better added to some tag on an object, but without touching<br>
addr:street and addr:housenumber. And addr:full looks good for this.<br>
There is no rules for this tag, and city and country are usually<br>
geocoded, so the value can help when searching.<br>

The nearby OpenStreetMap road name could help since it's already in the proper form. But there are also many US or state Highways that haven't been set to a usable address name: for example the street and post office address would be "Highway 244" but the nearby US244 only has a ref but no name, or it is named "United States Highway 244".<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
