FAQ

What is OpenStreetMap?

See OpenStreetMap (OSM) Wiki. The statistics showing the continuous growth of OSM are just stunning.

What's a Mapping Party?

See [2] (Was ist eine Mapping Party? siehe Micro Mapping Party Rapperswil).

How to map an address?

• To be a contributor to OpenStreetMap, firstly register to be an OSM user [3]
• Addresses can be tagged with addr:housenumber=* and the other addr:* keys. Tags can be added to
  • isolated nodes
  • nodes that are parts of building polygons ( = entrance=*s )
  • building=* polygons
  • on polygons representing the perimeter of the site.
• Buildings with multiple house numbers - There is currently no consensus on this but here are some possibilities:
  • Create an address node for each housenumber and place each node somewhere on the building outline (or inside the building).
  • Separate the numbers by commas (e.g., "11,13,15").
  • Specify the range (e.g., "10-95"). This is the preferred method when such a range is officially used for the entire house. You may also use **addr:interpolation=* to describe whether that includes odd, even or all numbers.

Why "Micro"...?

Micro has two meanings in this context: First, it's about a small party (usually it's about a weekend) - and second, it's about micromapping i.e. capturing of small scale features.

How to map a building?

• A single building outline can be created for each building complex or 'block', which may relate to a single detached property, or to a row of individual terraced houses or to some more complex arrangement of properties. It is however better to create a series of linked outlines which share some nodes at the boundary to identify each distinct part of the property.

• Buildings can simply be building=yes

• If the building has an interior courtyard the use a Multipolygon relation to ensure that the courtyard is not rendered as part of the building.
  • Please consider adding house numbers nodes to buildings with tags in addr:*=*-Namespace:

 entrance=yes (if you know where the entrance is)
 addr:street=*
 addr:housenumber=*
 addr:postcode=*
