Hello everyone, I'm looking at the OpenStreetMap XML and I'm trying to find my home. If I do a search on the main page, it correctly finds it and points to my house w/ an arrow. If I download the data as OpenStreetMap XML, I don't see the actual home addresses there. How does this work? Thanks, mj [Edit] I never entered my home via the addr tag. I looked up a more public address of a building in Chicago and I see the addr tag in there. I guess that my little home is just too little to show up in the XML. :) |

The answer probably has something do with Nominatim: |
Please edit your original question and tell us whether you have entered the data of your home with the help of the addr-tags ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr ) or not.
Or give us a permalink to your home building area if you want, then we can investigate further.
One possible reason is that the house numbers are mapped using address interpolation. That is a ways parallel to the road withs tags stating "here are houses 45 47 .... 63" without mapping each single house.
