House Names

[hungerburg]

In my town, some houses have names, mostly small chapels or touristic attractions, old "palaces", eg. Would be nice to have those shown, even when the house has an addr:number. On the countryside, names for houses are also common. Possible change below:

Hmm, some hosues have both an addr:house-name and a name… collapse them?

[andreynovikov]

House names are shown for all buildings that are not POIs (amenities in terms of Trekarta). If it is an amenity, then its name is shown only if that kind of amenities is enabled in map settings. For instance to see chapel name you have to enable religion amenities. This is on purpose.

That purpose should be unaffected, thats what the selector for kind not set matches? The extra test for "no housenumber", is it really warrented? Patch recreated

Nah, that gave me two names ! Of course the test is needed! Still, when checked, then I get NO name shown, how that?

After some more probing, turns out: It is the value of dy that decides, whether a house with a number will show its name. Change from 14 to 16, and names will show.

PS: House numbers on POIs maybe are not so interesting? Those are not real, they do not show most of the time, and where they show, they mostly duplicate stuff, from what I observe.

One more update: some shops show as housenames, when the comprise all of the building, the "feature" selector cannot be used on them, to hide their name.
