<p>I would love to see a "Download VCF" or "Download vCard" link next to the current "Download XML" links at the bottom of node and way pages on the OSM website. I implemented a demonstration of my desired functionality in <a href="https://github.com/meitar/osm2vcf">a userscript for you to see an example</a> of what I mean.</p>
<p>My rationale for this is that, while I love OpenStreetMap, a lot of my mapping activity is done in conjunction with my travel. When I travel, I tend to create contact cards (<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6350" rel="nofollow">vCard</a>s) in my personal information management tools for ease of reference. Just as often, places that I learn about exist on OSM before they exist in my personal address book. In these cases, I would love to download the data already available from OSM in a format that my address book can easily consume.</p>
<p>Therefore, I propose a simple mapping between OSM tags and RFC 6350 properties:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>OSM key</th>
<th>RFC 6350 property</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><code>name</code></td>
<td><code>N</code></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>image</code></td>
<td><code>PHOTO</code></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>addr:*</code></td>
<td><code>ADR</code></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>description</code></td>
<td><code>NOTE</code></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>website</code></td>
<td><code>URL</code></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The <code>ADR</code> conversion is the only one among these that require a little more detail. You can see <a href="https://github.com/meitar/osm2vcf/blob/1cf678aff65cd42056b237fd15f3fe92d4e2c6e8/osm2vcf.user.js#L107-L112">my demonstration implementation here</a>. More verbosely:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>OSM key</th>
<th>RFC 6350 <code>ADR</code> component</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><code>addr:housenumber</code></td>
<td><code>ADR-component-ext</code></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>addr:street</code></td>
<td><code>ADR-component-street</code></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>addr:city</code></td>
<td><code>ADR-component-locality</code></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>addr:state</code></td>
<td><code>ADR-component-region</code></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>addr:postcode</code></td>
<td><code>ADR-component-code</code></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>addr:country</code></td>
<td><code>ADR-component-country</code></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>It would be wonderful if the OSM website had such a one-click download option. Thanks for your consideration!</p>
