House number

[Osmandtrier]

I am doing my own maps for osmand. So I am not sure, wether it is a problem of my side or of osmand. I see many housenumbers on the map, but this house numbers are not offered in the adress search of osmand. For exampel http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.073&lon=8.6&zoom=9&layers=M
Bleichstraße: Number 16-22 are shown on the map in Osmand, but they don't be offered in the adresssearch.

I think it is your creation of the map. If I download the default hessen map and search for Frankfurt am Main, Bleichstraße 22, I do find it in the map and can display it or navigate to it.

 

I also create maps my self and don't have this problem.

 

You do need to index the addresses as well when creating the maps.

Trying again I discovered, that  the adress search is offering Bleichstraße two times:

- Bleichstraße
- Bleichstraße [Innenstadt]

Osmand show this behavoir also with other streets. The numbers are distribiuted over both streets.

Checking the OSM-Data, there is only one street.

Same here about an address in latest Germany_Niedersachsen.obf:

Town:   Hannover

Street: Hermann-Guthe-Straße

Also two entries here in Osmand's offline search although the street is really short and all housenumbers are quite near the street itself.

I assume this is an issue in Osmand Mapcreator!!

Open a issue ticket ?

More examples in Germany or even other countries on the planet?

Please open a bug with OSM links to the places.

Now if you want to fix something: the address search function is hopeless. I tried to look for 2800 E Cherry Street in Seattle, Washington, USA. It is a restaurant and convenience store in one building. Guess what. There are Cherry Street, Cherry Street (first hill), East Cherry Street, East Cherry Street (first hill) and East Cherry Street (madrona). First Hill and Madrona are neighbourhoods, that unless you live there nobody knows about. Yet for all these 5 streets (should be 1 street, with a suggestion of "East"), not a single one lists 2800 as a building , even worse, all the buildings listed are all on one side of the street. This is Osmands native library. Using the internet search function will pull this address up without a problem.

Can you point out the building on openstreetmap? Perhaps it is not tagged with address information.

Here it is. Everything east of Martin Luther King shows buildings but address search shows nothing on the north side of the street. West of MLK the map shows nothing, even though it is densely populated with buildings: houses, shops, restaurants.

Here is the google map version: https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=47.607848,-122.296532&spn=0.004145,0.00898&t=m&z=17

Hello!

Everything east of Martin Luther King shows buildings but address search shows nothing on the north side of the street.

 

Do you mean this street?
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?way=6519141
Where is the north side of this street?

West of MLK the map shows nothing, even though it is densely populated with buildings: houses, shops, restaurants.

 

Currently the OpenStreetMap community is working on the import of buildings and addresses of Seattle, this is still in progress:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Seattle_Import
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Seattle_Import/Work_Table

OpenStreetMap is something like Wikipedia for geodata:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap
You can help the OpenStreetMap community, if you want.
For example by contributing POIs, like shops and restaurants, or support the mentioned import.

Regards,
Max

Max, North is the top of the chart. Buildings on the N side of Cherry, but E of Martin Luther King (they are shown on the map) do not show up in Osmands address search. If they are still working on it then maybe data has crossed path and we will see it in Osmand soon. But still, why 5 different selection criteria for just 1 street? All the neighborhood names need to be removed. Just putting in Cherry Street should be enough, or maybe a prompt asking for East Cherry street, like MapQuest. But none of that "First hill", "Madrona". Same goes for Rainier Ave S (just a few km's to the south, and it is a very long road.

I think "Victor" once said buildings only show in the search if they have an "office=" tag or a "shop=" tag.

[Onkar Shinde]

Main question I asked is, "Are all buildings tagged with proper address data such as addr:housename, addr:street, addr:postcode?"

[Nico W]

Onkar: this is what you asked: quote: Can you point out the building on openstreetmap? Perhaps it is not tagged with address information: end quote.

So I copied the map and the google map to point it out.

 

Besides that, just last night a new map update came out and it now shows the 2800 building.

 

What needs to be adjusted in the search function is to allow N, E, S, W and NE, SE, SW, NW for addresses in the US. I had to put in East Cherry Street (which is the official name), yet all the street name signs say E. Cherry Street. Almost nowhere do you the full spelling for the compass directions.

 

I posted a copy of the map as shown on the

Hello Victor,

finally I managed to do a systematic analysis og Germany_Niedersachsen.obf about doubled street names.

I used inspector.bat to generate an output with -address parameter  and named the output as a CSV file.

Then import that csv file in LibreOffice to delete all unnecessary lines and columns.

Then load that csv file in Notepad++ to delete blank lines and separate cells with street names that only pure street names remain.

Have the name of the city filled in a new column so that really each row with a street name has also city name.

Have additional columns filled with street name if a street name is double.

Use AutoFilter to keep only rows with double street names.

Result for the mentioned obf file:

There are 11.275 (!!!) doubled streets!

And I assume that only very few are streets that are double within a city also in real world.

Should I open a bug ticket and append that file with the doubled streets? or send it by email (also to anyone interested) before to investigate whether my thoughts are wrong or not?

Well, I definitely don't need 11000 duplicates :) Please create a bug with just 3-4 prominent names locations.

Most likely they have the same reason.
