I added 2 entrances with addresses to a building. One of them appears when I look at the map but not the other. I don't see any difference between them. Can someone tell me if I've done something wrong? Here is the link: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=38.903014&lon=-77.038619&zoom=18&layers=M The nodes I added are: 1840518774 (does not appear) and 1840535446 (does appear) Thanks. asked 02 Aug '12, 02:08 hleopold |
Mapnik - the rendering program that creates this map from your data - will drop names and house numbers if they would intersect with some other icon or label on the map. It is likely that Mapnik tries to avoid a visual conflict with the "Dress Barn Woman" label in this case. I do not see any problem with your tagging. (Except maybe the use of abbreviations, but that has nothing to do with the issue at hand.) answered 02 Aug '12, 08:02 Tordanik |
It may be that the link road it is on is not named so although the node is addressed the street nearby is not. details node 1840518774 as addr num =1001 addrstreet= conneticut avenue but it is on a way = highway primary link but name is blank. where as the other node is on a named street that it can get tied to..maybe answered 02 Aug '12, 09:35 andy mackey 1
How does this have an influence on Mapnik rendering? As far as I know, the only thing Mapnik cares about is addr:housenumber. Feel free to correct me, though.

Tordanik link to abbreviations is very important and a trap I have fell into e.g st & ave and do not get speliing wrong! but this more of a nominatim issue I guess
