<div>Hi Simon,<br>
</div>

</div>
<div>What tools do you use for this? In the summer I decided to
survey about 400 addresses in Bodmin, and it was a rather
painful (and long) morning. I ended up walking down each street
two times to get both sides, and spent quite a while dealing
with weird/backwards numbering -- or numbers that just weren't
there. <br>
</div>

<p>Well I typically use Vespucci which has the advantage that you
have</p>
<p>- aerial imagery as the background so placing nodes or selecting
the proper building outline isn't an issue,</p>
<p>- house number prediction. That is you only need to manually
correct numbers that don't fit, and will automatically take the
side of the road in to account. So if you can see the numbers on
the other side you just need to walk down the street once.<br>
</p>

<div>This was using StreetComplete after adding geometries using
JOSM, and I fear that it would've been much harder to place the
addresses without them.<br>

<p>At the danger of pointing out the blatantly obvious: you can
easily survey and add addresses as stand alone nodes without
adding buildings before. <br>
</p>
<p>It is quite a fast process and, at least for me, is only
limited by walking speed and getting distracted by other
details which you tend to only see when surveying on foot. It
is what we used to do before aerial imagery was widely
available and will result in fully functional routing. Given
how painful correcting building geometries is I would always
prefer an address node over mapping a building outline from a
sub-par source.<br>

<div>Hi all,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just spotted that Google Maps has added house numbers
to their map of the UK. They are all over the place - does
anyone recognise the source?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What can we do to improve coverage of addresses in OSM?
I notice that we have some pretty good aerial imagery now.
Should we see if we can get good building outline from an
AI / machine learning approach? If the quality is good we
can then use these to help add addresses. For example we
can ask new mappers to add addresses using tools such as
StreetComplete.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any thoughts much appreciated. I have a feeling that if
we can come up with a plan we may be able to get some help
from several of the big tech companies now interested in
the UK. It would be better if we were steering this rather
than it happening to us.<br>
