<div class="moz-cite-prefix">+1 for the LIP Imagery and Base Map. <br>
I have been doing a few places - the shopping areas for tourist
spots as that is where I think most of navigation demand is. At
the centres of a block the street name is fairly obvious. The
corners can be tricky for the street name .. but if the number
flows sequentially in one direction and non sequentially in the
other you can extrapolate that the street name is the same as for
the sequential numbers. <br>
<br>
In Sydneys CBD the LIP Imagery is fairly up to date, in Coffs
Harbour the DigitalGlobe Standard Imagery is more upto date.<br>
<br>
Good luck, there is a lot to do .. you may find it best to do the
start and end of each street as a start to the house numbers, you
'll get more done and it will serve as a guide for the people
trying to navigate. <br>
Oh .. and it is not necessary to map the buildings .. you just
need a node with the address information ..that will speed things
up too. But for the shopping areas I have been adding the building
outlines too. <br>

I've started using OSM more and more and I find it
frustrating that many house addresses are not available in
OSM. I would like to help by tracing many houses using
ESRI as a base map (feel free to audit my history on OSM
under the name "Moult"). I would also like to add address
information (addr:housenumber and addr:street) to these
ways however I don't think that we are meant to be copying
from Google maps. Is there another map source that has
addresses that we can use? Perhaps some form of government
cadastre map? Is that allowed?<br>

<div>What do you mean by "<span

as a base map" do you mean the "ESRI World Imagery"</span> available
in ID and JOSM? ESRI's map layers are not allowed, just
like Google Maps or Google Street View which must not be
used as we don't have the copyright permissions to use
these.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Joel H is right about the LPI Base Map as a source of
addresses, which we do have an explicit permission for
(not the new OSMF waiver though).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The building outlines are best obtained from the LPI
Imagery which has the highest resolution and isn't too
old.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Not sure how you would find the addr:street? I'd say
don't add this unless you know from a survey or
local_knowledge, especially around corners it can be
tricky. Besides most of the time it can be guessed already
by data consumers snapping to the nearest road segment.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>PS. There is also GNAF which has address data Australia
wide which you can use with OSM, but not import into OSM.
Personally I use this in a lot of maps and mobile apps
(OsmAnd, you should be able to get it into <a
href="http://maps.me" moz-do-not-send="true">maps.me</a>
too).</div>
