The final project consists of a backend database that sends "potential addressable locations" (i.e. the red or green points) to a web based editing tool. I have not shown the web based editing tool yet but the process to filter out points that already have an address in OSM will happen there. Doing it this way means it is always live and up to date with OSM.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>The map you are seeing now is a visualisation of the back end database. We will send the red points to the web based editing tool, but as noted this creates gaps in some locations, hence my questions around whether we should manually "pull through" some of the green points into OSM so they become available in the web based editing tool as well.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Please accept my apologies that I haven't been clear on this in my earlier emails.
