Hi I've been looking into house numbers a little. They work by giving a range of numbers between two nodes on a road. A node here is a routing node - where two roads meet - and not the meaning of node in OSM. You can say if the numbers are odd, even or both and if there are no numbers down one side of a road you can say that too. You specify numbers as being on the left or on the right when looking in the direction the road is drawn in. So you might have on the left hand side of the road numbers are odd and go from 25 to 37 and on the right hand side they are even and go from 26 to 32. If house numbers decrease along the direction of the road, you just have a start number that is larger than the end number. This is also clear from the polish notation for house numbers, which for the above example is: Numbers1=0,O,25,37,E,26,32 I hope to have at least a 'hello world' example of numbering working in the next week. ..Steve
Hi, maybe you can also include the zip-code-search. I know, house numbers a more important, but zip-code-search is a nice feature, especially if you have a big city, that has streets with the same name in different zip-areas (e.g. Berlin). As far as I can remember zip-codes are saved the same way (left/right side of the street). Cheers Martin Am 06.12.2012 um 22:47 schrieb Steve Ratcliffe:

AFAIK ZIP code searching is available only in NT maps. -- have fun, alex

Hi On the numbering branch, which you can get from here: http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/download/mkgmap.html has the first working house numbers for mkgmap. It is only for Polish input files and is limited to cases where the numbers increase along the street, there is not too big a difference between the numbers and there is no more than one section of road. There also must be odd numbers on one side of the road and even on the other. So things like the following will work: Numbers1: 0,E,2,10,O,1,15 or Numbers1: 0,O,5,15,E,8,24 On the other hand it knows what it can do, so if you see numbers then they are probably right. Cases that are not implemented and tested are just left out of the map. Adding the other cases is not a big problem, I am just adding things one step at a time. ..Steve
Hi Steve Almost every street in Exeter has osm address numbers . I'm keen to translate them into a mp format so I can test your latest amazing efforts. Unfortunately I'm not too sure what to do with the jar . Any chance of it being committed?

Hi Nick
Almost every street in Exeter has osm address numbers . I'm keen to translate them into a mp format so I can test your latest amazing efforts.
Unfortunately I'm not too sure what to do with the jar .
Since numbers only work with .mp file, there is no need for anything else and you can just use the downloaded jar from the website in place of the mkgmap.jar java -jar mkgmap-numbering-r2410.jar exeter.mp Or you can take a copy of the latest trunk release of mkgmap and replace the mkgmap.jar file in there with numbering one, changing its name to mkgmap.jar and then just use it as normal. I will probably merge it to trunk as soon as it is confirmed that it doesn't affect any existing functionality. ..Steve
Hi Steve many thanks for that ! Will let you know I how got on r Nick From: Steve Ratcliffe [via GIS] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2012 1:19 PM To: nwillink Subject: Re: House numbers Hi Nick
