[mkgmap-dev] addr:place and housenumbers

Thu Dec 11 10:35:08 GMT 2014

Hi all,

I have an idea how to support the evaluation of the addr:place tag.
I first thought this can all be done with a few rules in the style, but it seems that
 the boundaries don't contain the hamlet boundaries, so it is difficult to find the 
matching names for streets and nodes.

Idea:
Step 1:
- collect all nodes with addr:housenumber=* and addr:place=* and addr:street!=*
- collect all nodes with place=hamlet and name=*
- collect all unnamed roads 
Step 2:
For each hamlet, calculate the area (bbox or maybe a circle) containing the corresponding 
addr:place nodes (the place=hamlet nodes should help in case that there are two or more
hamlets with the same name in one tile)
Step 3: Find out the unnamed streets in these areas. Give them the name of the hamlet
and interpret the addr:place tag in the nodes like mkgmap:street (using the normal housenumber
routines)

Is anybody interested in that?

Gerd
