I use most of these plugins. But recently I started using them less, because now I convert my GPX waypoints to OSM data points automatically.<br>
<br>
The only thing I do not do is repeating the postal code over and over, but since you insist, I'll do that from now on. :-)<br>
<br>
Can you look at e.g. <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.16279363632202&lon=4.425258636474609&zoom=16" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?<u></u>lat=51.16279363632202&lon=4.<u></u>425258636474609&zoom=16</a> an area I mapped this winter. Please let me know if you think it can be improved. Yes, the city and the postal code are only in the relation.<br>

Some very nice work there, pretty detailed. Looks good on the map. That has been a lot of work by the looks of it. I'm impressed .... haven't checked with josm yet, but I will. I am going to dig deeper into the Nominatim scene concerning geocoding (=what is best for both map and other data use) , I'll come back on this. For me, the plugin's make me do it, since it's easy. I didn't do all the detailed work before knowing them. I would not recommend doing this manually per building without the things I mentioned (The mapcss helps the most).<div class="im">

Yes, I know I should use building=house more consistently. Yes, I know I could add sidewalk, lit, parking lane tags as I did (already partially) in <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.134501695632935&lon=4.385626316070557&zoom=16" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?<u></u>lat=51.134501695632935&lon=4.<u></u>385626316070557&zoom=16</a><br>

You mean building=yes (I don't use house, don't think it was 'official').<br>
What I do for sure is mark building=garages and sheds and I remove all addr:* tags from them, as they clutter searching for an address. They make the data worse, and then others think it's an unnumbered building and start inventing numbers (seen that here!) , while all that lives in there are cars or lawnmowers.<div class="im">

Let me know if you think the data can be improved, as I'm willing to improve my tagging habits.<br>

Cool! The only suggestion I can make is have an extra window in the browser open on the AGIV site, I found out I put my tags on the wrong side in a street using it. A very small one, I had the odd/even sides all wrong. There you can verify if what you enter makes sense, you just can't copy it over without some live visit -ever- as they are incomplete and wrong sometimes, and also don't always know about sub addresses (100b 110/1 etc).<div class="HOEnZb">
