[talk-au] Adding residential properties?

[Will Rouesnel]

Ok this is what I got from a brief walk around the neighborhood with 
OSMPad on my phone:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2569340857#map=17/-33.82359/151.25009&layers=ND

The addresses line up to the post-box / domestic entrances where 
possible - my motivation here is to get places I travel to give 
accurate GPS coordinates from things like OSMAnd.

The biggest problem at the moment seems to be the Bing imagery has a 
couple meter shift in this area, so things line up but the roads are 
offset a bit - I can't decide whether to recenter my points around the 
roads or not, since presumably if it's ever correct a big shift would 
then line everything up nicely.
