[Talk-ca] Advice on Addressing

[Harald Kliems]

Much has already been said. A good tool to collect housenumbers on an
Android phone is keypadmapper:

I've mostly mapped interpolation lines in my Montreal neighborhood.
The problem here is that each apartment has an individual housenumber,
meaning that if you have, for example, a triplex you can easily end up
with 8 different numbers for just one building, making individual
nodes a huge pain.

One note about the linked example: If you've mapped all individual
houses on a block, I'd delete the interpolation line or add the
addr:inclusion tag to provide other mappers with accuracy information:
