<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.</p>

<div>Hi all,</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?</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>
