Add field for addr:suburb to address preset

[daganzdaanda]

Hi,

I propose to add
addr:suburb
to the internal address preset.

Currently, there are fields for
addr:housenumber
addr:housename
addr:street
addr:city
addr:postcode
addr:country

In my area (Bavaria), there are a lot of cities and towns that include a number of villages as suburbs.
The addr:suburb tag is used in addresses there, because addr:city is always the main city. I'd love to be able to enter all this in the same dialogue.

[daganzdaanda]

...come to think of it, maybe the address preset could be customizeable by the user?
So that everybody gets quick access to the addr:* tags they use most, and can hide the tags they do not need. E.g. in Germany there is no official "addr:housename", but in the UK it is quite common. Or, "addr:state" is used in the US, but not here.

I've found the address-plugin in defaultpresets.xml

Would adding this line:

<text key="addr:suburb" text="Suburb" use_last_as_default="force" match="key" />

after

https://josm.openstreetmap.de/browser/josm/trunk/data/defaultpresets.xml#L6820

be enough for now?
Full customization is probably not quite as simple.

Any opinon on this?

fix #10300 - add country-specific optional address attributes (addr:hamlet, addr:suburb, addr:subdistrict, addr:district, addr:state)

Is addr:place already in the list? It seems to be used much more widely.

Thank you very much!

I think for Canada and some other countries, addr:province is used (you have "US/Canadian States as defined in ISO 3166-2" for addr:state)

<​http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=addr> has some widely used tags that I've never seen before:
addr:conscriptionnumber (> 2 million uses, mostly in CZ)
addr:streetnumber and addr:provisionalnumber seem to belong in the Czech system as well.

From the wiki <​http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>, maybe addr:flats addr:unit and addr:door would make sense?

I forgot province, that's right. I won't add the others, they're not used much. Neither the czech one, not documented.

In 7430/josm:

[daganzdaanda]

OK, thanks a lot!
You still have the Canadian provinces in the combo-list of states (at the end).
AB,BC,MB,NB,NL,NS,ON,PE,QC,SK,NT,NU,YT
I don't think adding an extra combo list for Canada is necessary. Province is used in more countries than CA, as taginfo shows.

Btw, when I use the addr:street field, I get all kinds of names as suggestions for autocomplete. Is there a way to restrict the suggestions to names of streets? This is the line in the code:
<text key="addr:street" text="Street name" use_last_as_default="force" match="key" alternative_autocomplete_keys="name" />

[Don-vip]

Indeed. I messed up Canadian provinces and US states as they use the same postal abbreviation system.

That is fine, the CZ & SK addressing schema is covered at

You listed "AS,GU,MP,PR,UM,VI" as part of the ​50 U.S. States should be removed. These are list as a ​Insular area. They are independent nations, that participate with the U.S. State Department. ​Here are the 50 U.S. States

I understand they are not proper incorporated states, but I used ​List_of_U.S._state_abbreviations and these abbreviations are defined as such in ISO, ANSI, USPS and USCG standards. As we're talking about an address here, doesn't it make sense to reuse abbreviations used by USPS? I assume if you want to send a letter to someone living in Puerto Rico for example, you'd use "PR" as state abbreviation to make USPS ship that letter, no?

[Don-vip]

See ​official USPS documentation #1 and ​#2 about Puerto Rico addresses. I'd prefer to keep these entries.

That's fine with me. Just trying to help if you make a mistake. :)

[Don-vip]

No problem :) It's always great to have feedback from people living in other countries :)

[daganzdaanda]

Hi again,
the German translation is not yet perfect. I have started a thread ​http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=26830 to find a good translation especially for addr:place. I will change the translation myself, after I get some feedback.

But there's something else:
addr:housename is, according to the wiki, mainly a UK thing. Should it be moved to the second group of tags?
I see many addr:housename tags in Germany, where it's mostly wrongly used instead of name/old_name/loc_name/...
