[Talk-us] Tagging addresses on area's

[Paul Johnson]

What's the correct tag for unit number, anyway?  This is driving me insane
since it's making it impossible to complete mapping the caravan site I live
in to a level of completeness that you can navigate by without trying to
find the unit numbers (which, stupidly, are all on the utility pedestals at
the *back* of the space, instead of by the roadside where they're not
blocked by slideouts routinely)
