<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>I'll rest my case for the associatedStreet relation. I was indeed talking about mobile editors like Vespucci or iLoE, not something like OsmAND, which does preprocess the data.<br><br></div>
I won't stop adding them myself every once in a while, but that won't change much, as adresses are not what I'm concentrating on, even though they are, of course, important.<br><br></div>To be able to keep things workable once all those adresses will be added, I'll find a way to purge them from the dataset locally after each download... Can't live without autosave, but it's annoying it interrupts the workflow for longer and longer amounts of time.<br>
<br></div><div>My preference is to do things in an efficient way, but we don't do that for other things either. <br></div><div><br></div>Jo<br><div><br><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div dir="ltr"><div>Processing addresses in my opinion has to be smart enough to handle all this. When I process OSM-data for mobile devices everything is removed that is not useful and I would hope other software is also smart enough to keep only the data it needs. I don't know of any mobile app that consumes OSM-data in it's raw form, except maybe some of the mobile editors.<br>
</div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Mostly the arguments in favor of the associatedStreet relation are related to technology, the arguments against are the fact that OSM is more than a collection of hackers trying to build a map. These technology arguments are things that can be solved either way and I think we have enough people that can do this kind of stuff.<br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">The thing we really need are more mappers and I don't think OSM should become the kind of project where you would have to be an 'expert' to add a simple address to the database.</div>
