[OSM-talk] Without an address, an Icelandic tourist drew this map of the intended location (Búðardalur) and surroundings on the envelope. The postal service delivered!

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

I typed "slums" in Google and looked at resulting numerous images of 
slums. I tried to imagine where to place street signs or block number 
plaques. Often the walls of shacks are made from a mixture of worn-out 
fabric, cardboard, corrugated iron.

Even if street signs are placed on poles, I am afraid these poles will 
be stolen and reused for building or improving a shack. At the same time 
there are quite a few multi-storey cabins, so just GPS coordinates or 
three words are not enough. The address should also contain somehow a 
floor number.
