I THINK IT'S TIME FOR US, TO BE ABLE TO DO MORE THAN JUST WRITE THE
NAME OF A STREET. AS AN ADVANCED USER I BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU SEARCH
FOR A PLACE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR MORE THAN A STREET NAME, YOU WANT TO
KNOW WHAT WOULD BE THE HOUSE NUMBER.

I NOTICED ON GOOGLE MAP, MOST OF THE STREETS IN THE U.S. HAVE A SMALL
NUMBERING ON THE SIDES, INDICATING THE POSSIBLE HOUSE NUMBER AROUND. I
WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS FOR SANTO DOMINGO. SINCE THERE ARE A LOT OF
STREET NEAR TO EACH OTHER WITH THE SAME NAME, BUT THE HOUSE NUMBER
WOULD NOT BE THE SAME, SO WE NEED TO INDICATE THAT FOR A BETTER SEARCH
PURPOSE.

THANK YOU :D

I beleive you are talking about this what I'm experimenting in this area. But I'm yet not very successful in getting a very exact result as expected. :)

Exacly. This happens in residential areas with lots of small streets
and cul-de-sac, where the same street name may be used for many
streets that are at roughly the same longitude and heading, or same
latitude and heading.

A typical example:

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=34.139373,-117.618878&spn=0.010976,0.016565&t=h&z=16


Most GIS databases (including, no doubt, Google Maps) have fields like
housenumber_left_start, housenumber_left_end, housenumber_right_start,
housenumber_right_end. Such fields should be available in MM, too, so
they get populated in GM.

Although I highly support entering the number of the building I am
leery of having google automatically use it to generate those street
numbers often seen on a map at the beginning and end of the street.
There are many countries or locations within a country where the
numbering is not sequential on the same street.

Hi All,
Thank you for your suggestions. I would suggest that you create an
'Enhancement' issue on the MapMaker Issue tracker explaining the same
so that we can analyze the feasibility of this feature request and let
you know of any updates.

Regards,
MapMaker Guide.

Well I don't care if in other countries the number is sequential...
Google Map Maker should put this feature where the numbers are in the
right order... like in my country!!

Let me know if I have to write a whole paper explaining the reasons
why and how helpful can it be...
