for this, I've actually been holding on to a domain for this for
years (addmyaddress.org) that could be used.</p>

<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>

<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>

<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>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>
