[OSM-talk] ITO Map now Global

[Leandro Motta Barros]

Hello again,

Another building-related thing I forgot to say in the previous email:

Many buildings here (specially commercial buildings) have many numbers
(one for each store front). For this reason, I frequently add the
address tags to each building entrance, not to the building as whole.
It would be nice if the ITO could be smart enough to render a building
as "numbered" if at least one of its building=entrance nodes has an
addr:number=* tag. A naïve implementation supporting this shouldn't be
too hard to do.

Cheers,

LMB
