​Watch a demonstration video

You will find the House Number Tagging Tool under the Data menu in JOSM or use shortcut key K

To add address data using this plugin complete the following steps:

• Click on a building/node that you wish to apply the address data to
• Select the House Number Tagging Tool under the Data menu in JOSM or use shortcut key K
• The following window will appear

• All elements of an address can be applied or unselected by clicking on the relevant checkbox

Note: If an element is checked, the address data (from the "New values" column) will be added to the building/node you have selected, however if an element is checked and there is no text to be added it will assume this field should be blank and will delete pre-existing address data (visible in the "Existing values" column)if any exists so ensure you only select fields for which you are adding address data, unless your intention is to remove pre-existing address data

• Each element contains a drop down list with a number of options e.g. under "building" will be listed options yes, house, apartment, office etc. The drop down for addr:street will include a list of all street names from the data you currently have loaded into JOSM.
• The number you add to the addr:housenumber field should contain the number of the first building you are tagging e.g. 1.
• The Housenumber increment slider at the bottom of the window tells the plugin what number you want it to display on the next building. It allows for sequential or odd/even increments of
  • -2 (10, 8, 6)
  • -1 (10, 9, 8)
  • 0 (same number)
  • 1 (1,2,3)
  • and 2 (2,4,6).
• Click ok to apply the selected address tags to the building/node
