[mkgmap-dev] ["PATCH" v1] Housenumber search for OSM data

Thu Feb 14 20:14:52 GMT 2013

Hi all,

I have implemented a first prototype to support housenumber search for 
OSM input data. This is already possible for polish format but not for OSM.

Don't expect anything when trying the patch but I wanted you to take 
part on the first small steps of the housenumber integration.

This is what the patch does:
1. Collect all nodes and ways/polygons tagged with addr:housenumber and 
addr:street
2. Collect all roads
3. For all elements collected in 1. get the closest road with equal name
4. Attach the housenumbers to the first routing segment of the road. Yes 
that's wrong - but at the moment I don't know how to forecast in which 
routing segments the road will be divided.

Warning:
The patch is a quick hack (~4 hours). It's undocumented. It's 
unperformant. It's mostly untested. ...
But it's the first time one can search for housenumbers with OSM as 
input :-)

Thanks Steve for implementing the new feature housenumber search!
