[talk-au] Blocks of land - residential housing

[Ben Johnson]

Hi,

For fast numbering, you might want to check out the technique I tried for Wharf Street, Forster NSW.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-32.18045&lon=152.51021&zoom=17&layers=M

This uses the "address interpolation" technique. I wasn't sure at the time if I'd done it the right way because nomonatim hadn't been getting updated, but since then it has... and I can tell you it works a treat! If you search for any valid number on Wharf Street Forster it will point you there with surprising accuracy.

Just draw a parallel way from corner to corner with start/end numbers and tell it whether odd or even. Very nice way to quickly make the map massively more useable. Search the wiki for more details.
