[Talk-us] Addresses and Tiger

[Russ Nelson]

I suggest that you do the area around my house.  I've been adding  
Karlsruhe-style addressing ways, but with all of the houses marked  
with addr:housenumber and building=yes.  Where neither the mailbox nor  
the house have a number I've added a node with just building=yes.  I'm  
at 44.73 -74.94.

My ways are as accurate as you can get with a GPS receiver on a  
bicycle riding at 12MPH, so they should serve as a good quality- 
control test.
