I wish I could modify the address numbers OF THE SHOPS

[chipechop]

I wish I could modify the address numbers, when inputting the opening hours of a shop.

Everytime I confirm, or update the opening hours of a shop, I can't set the address number and it's frustrating: many are wrong, or missing.

You can move the position of the shops around with that very cool drag and drop feature, but then it would be the wrong number, right?

I don't know if I'm missing anything (maybe it can be done), but I wish I could do that.

Anyone else?

Do you know the layers feature? There is one layer for address.

Hi, thank you for your reply.

Yes, I know the Address layer, but it doesn't allow me to tell which existing shop on the map is located, at any specific address. The address layer seems to be dealing with addresses only, not shops.

Nor, in the Shops layer, I can set/change the address number of the shop. The shop layer seems to be dealing only with shops (and not their address)

See the images below: I don't see how I can tell the app, whether the shop is at number 2c, or 14th. Or, if there is a way, I didn't find it, yet.

Adress and shop layers are completely separated and I can't input the addresses of the shops (or the opposite: I can't tell the app which shop is at a given address).

I wish I could use streetcomplete to set/change the address of the shops.

TL;DR: It makes sense to me to also allow Address overlay to add addresses (even on addressless) node, ways, relations with building or shop or amenity ~ "resturant|pub|cafe...". We allow changing address there already, but not adding it, and it is often common for multiple shops in same (large-ish) building to have different addresses.

Well, you can change address of the shop if it is incorrect via Address Overlay, see e.g. here:

-

you just need to click on the lower part (i.e. bottom of blue dot) as to not trigger the quest (opening hours in this case).

However, as you noted, you can not add the address to the shop marked as a node if it is missing. You can only add it if the shop is tagged as polygon with building=* tag... The code:

StreetComplete/app/src/androidMain/kotlin/de/westnordost/streetcomplete/overlays/address/AddressOverlay.kt

Lines 35 to 49 in d28faae

	override fun getStyledElements(mapData: MapDataWithGeometry) =
	mapData
	.filter("""
	nodes with
	addr:housenumber or addr:housename or addr:conscriptionnumber or addr:streetnumber
	or entrance
	""")
	.map {
	val label = getShortHouseNumber(it.tags) // or ▫
	val icon = if (label != null) R.drawable.ic_address_dot else null
	it to OverlayStyle.Point(icon = icon, label = label ?: "◽")
	} +
	mapData
	.filter("ways, relations with building")
	.filter {

To me, it makes sense that one should also be able to add address to:

• nodes with building=* (there are much less buildings tagged imprecisely as nodes rather then polygons, but it is accepted tagging, and there are more than 990k of them
• nodes with shop=* (or certain amenity, e.g. amenity=restaurant|fast_food|cafe etc. (one can look at IS_PLACE_EXPRESSION

  StreetComplete/app/src/commonMain/kotlin/de/westnordost/streetcomplete/osm/Places.kt

  Line 34 in d28faae

  private val IS_PLACE_EXPRESSION by lazy {

  for inspiration, but it would need to be a yet different list, as things like leisure=ice_rink are unlikely to have their own addresses)

I'm not sure about opinions that matter more than mine. I suspect the one of the arguments against might be the complexity of building and maintaining yet another list like that... (there is also the "consistency! Address overlay is about about addresses, not shops!" rules; but to that I would argue this is about addresses, but it is very common for shops to have addresses too, and not just buildings -- in many places, there are multiple shops with different addresses in the same physical building)

what do you suggest to do, in the case that:

1. between two adjacent numbers (e.g. 2 and 4) there are three different shops, missing in the maps?

I usually add them one by one, using the shop layer and positioning the cross in the position that most matches reality. Everytime I do this, I cannot input the address, nor the number: just the name of the shop and the "physical" position. In my hometown, very often, every shop has its own address, like 2a, 2b, 2c, then on the road you see the door of number 4 (which is the entrance for people living in the building), so I wish I could add the three shops and their own specific a, b, c address. But I can't.

Should I do, anything differently? Should I first add the missing 2a, 2b, 2c blue dots with the address layer, and then add the shops, instead)

(I am not a developer...)

2. sometimes the positions of the shops are wrong (by 20, to 50 metres) and I usually move them with the drag feature of the shop layer, but I don't know what happens to their address number: are they updated by streetcomplete to the new number at that position on the street, or is it kept the same, as it was before the move?
