<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Ok, <br></div>I'm not new on this list, but the more I read here, the more I'm afraid I will break something when I want to add stuff.<br><br>
</div>A few years ago I added some streets through GPS coordinates.<br></div>Most of that work is finished, now it seems to be more about drawing houses, coupling them to the street, etc.<br></div>I have absolutely no idea on how to add these things.<br>
</div><div><br>A very simple example, in Oud-Turnhout:<br><a href="http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=addresses&lon=4.98181&lat=51.33488&zoom=17&overlays=buildings,buildings_with_addresses,postal_code,nodes_with_addresses_defined,nodes_with_addresses_interpolated,no_addr_street,street_not_found,interpolation,interpolation_errors,connection_lines,nearest_points,nearest_roads">http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=addresses&lon=4.98181&lat=51.33488&zoom=17&overlays=buildings,buildings_with_addresses,postal_code,nodes_with_addresses_defined,nodes_with_addresses_interpolated,no_addr_street,street_not_found,interpolation,interpolation_errors,connection_lines,nearest_points,nearest_roads</a><br>
</div><div>You see that most houses are drawn (they are brown), but not all 'shacks' in the backyard are.<br></div><div>How do I make in the easiest way the connection to the street?  (the green lines)<br></div><div>
How do I fill in the missing part of the green line / street?<br></div><div>What is the difference between the street displayed on the map and the green street name?  Which benefits does the green line bring to navigation devices or whatever?<br>
</div><br>Going further, in Turnhout, the Begijnhof is nicely added, the streets surrounding it, not:<br><a href="http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=addresses&lon=4.94589&lat=51.32634&zoom=17&overlays=buildings,buildings_with_addresses,postal_code,nodes_with_addresses_defined,nodes_with_addresses_interpolated,no_addr_street,street_not_found,interpolation,interpolation_errors,connection_lines,nearest_points,nearest_roads">http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=addresses&lon=4.94589&lat=51.32634&zoom=17&overlays=buildings,buildings_with_addresses,postal_code,nodes_with_addresses_defined,nodes_with_addresses_interpolated,no_addr_street,street_not_found,interpolation,interpolation_errors,connection_lines,nearest_points,nearest_roads</a><br>
<br></div>So my questions here:<br></div>- some buildings are grey, not brown, what do I have to do to make them brown?<br></div>- Again, what are the benefits?<br><br></div>And for both these areas: what other things are still missing?<br>
</div>What is the priority in adding stuff?<br></div><br></div>Kind regards,<br><br>Chris<br></div>
