<body>I haven't seen such guidelines for the UK myself. In general people prefer having address tags on buildings. Separate address points are more of a stop gap solution until building shapes are sufficiently accurate. <br><br>An exception is addresses on entrances, which some mappers seem to prefer. I can simply avoid such areas. <br><br>Some clarifications:<br>- Code-Point Open contains only one data entry (point) per postcode. It is located near the centroid and snapped to a nearest building (technically delivery point). So the scope is fairly small. <br>- This is automatic editing, not an import. I can skip areas that use different addressing conventions. There is still over a hundred thousands of simple cases that can save a lot of manual work.<br>- I ignore postcodes that are already in OSM near that location. So it is an additive process (no changes or deletions) <br>- Manual methods are not perfect either, due to Code-Point Open limitations. But it is still the only legal source of postcodes in bulk we have (licensed by the owner).<br><br>Best regards, <br>ndrw6<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 17 July 2019 10:07:52 BST, Mateusz Konieczny <matkoniecz@tutanota.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
