[Talk-us] OSM Inspector and streets with E/N/S/W in their name

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

   the OSM Inspector address layer now has world-wide coverage thanks to
a sponsorship from Geotab in Canada - I believe that this has already
been mentioned here.

In looking at its current error messages and warnings, I find many
situations in the US where the way itself has a name tag of "South Apple
Tree Road" but the house has an addr:street tag of just "Apple Tree
Road". This leads to a "street not found" error.

I wonder: Is OSMI correct in flagging this for correction, or is this
something that nobody really cares about and that should not be
highlighted? I.e. should we, in OSMI, drop the E/N/S/W prefix of street
names before trying to find a match?

Bye
Frederik
