[OSM-talk] mapping house numbers

[John F. Eldredge]

How will it handle the situation where some street addresses will have just a single entity associated with them, and some others (possibly on the same street) will have multiple associated entities (for example, multiple businesses in the same office building, sharing the same street address but having different suite numbers)?

Ahhhhh... something like a little number-pad on the screen where you just punch digits in then press Left or Right instead of enter.


1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
L 0 R

 
Nice idea.  VERY single purpose.  :-)

 mobile application for large scale collection of house numbers.

 Something like Mapzen POI Collector on the iPhone?  I checked, it has house numbers.  
 


If I travel down a street it, I want to be able to tell it that house 23 is on my left using just 3 or 4 keystrokes / taps.

And I don't want to buy a iPhone just for that. And Ipod touch app would be possible, but there would have to be some GPX post processing involved similar to photo mapping.

Or you mean a web app?


Perhaps this would make a nice project of the month.  Have a list of known (free) mobile apps that support POI uploading and the house number tags.
