Buildings with no address

[Ted Langdon]

I am attempting to build out buildings for an outdoor site, and there are very few that have any kind of street address. Is there a way to build these by Lat/Long or from a KML file? 

[Richard Palm]

I find an address close by to enter and then edit the location by moving the marker pin on the map.

Unfortunately, there's no addresses close by, so that won't work

I'd recommend contributing to the map sources. Here's a howto for Open Street Maps I found with a google search.

Ted, per RP's response, an address doesn't need to be 'close by';  Whatever gets a location onto a map at any zoom will allow you to revise its position.

In addition, you might look at Config/About ...  nos. 28 and 37, although I haven't tried any KML stuff.

I think this is being made more difficult than it needs to be.

 

Just use a geographical reference of some sort.

 

• Degrees, minutes, seconds or some other form thereof
• Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
• Military Grid Reference System (MGRS)

 

UTM and MGRS are very easy to use and can be very precise (down to at least a meter)

 

As an aside, I prefer topographical maps rather than Open Street Maps (working on a map server for that).

 

Just my two cents.

 

 

Cheers!

Arnie and Richard, that worked, I used the main gate address to get the location in, and then moved the pin as needed.
