[mkgmap-dev] weired housenumbers in Canada

Fri Feb 27 14:49:28 GMT 2015

Hi all,

in Canada, a lot of OSM data comes from imports,
e.g.
source=NRCan-CanVec-8.0 
or 
NRCan-CanVec-10.0

I think the house number data provided by these imports
is more or less garbage.
I see many ways like this:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/133338396
It is an addr:interpolation way connecting two
different points which both have 
addr:housenumber=5
addr:street=20th Sideroad

In many cases I see two of these meaningless objects,
one with source=NRCan-CanVec-8.0, one with
source=NRCan-CanVec-10.0.

I think the only way to handle this data is to ignore it,
if mkgmap finds an addr:interpolation way
connecting two equal numbers, we should ignore the
numbers. 
Right?

Gerd
