I adapted the Python code a bit, so several .osm files are created, one for each country:<br><br>A source tag is also added. I also added some invalid data, so it shouldn't be possible to upload these files to the server directly. As they are now, it is possible to cherry pick addresses on one OSM layer and copy/paste them to another (new) layer.<br>
<br>The 2 adresses I already processed where both companies, so it's probably worth it to look them up on the internet to find out what is located at these adresses.<br><br>Enjoy!<br><br>Jo<br><br>PS: it's trivial to adapt this code so it creates a separate file per state/city for use in the US.<br>
