House number tagging

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

it takes a lot effort to tag house numbers.
I usually take pictures and at home I try to 'putit together'. Sometimes I
can't read the number on the picture cause the photo is blurry or fuzzy.
So a function for tagging house numbers would be a very usefull feature.
Something you have the option to enter house number and direction (maybe
left/right of the road or east/west..).

Could also be a very usefull function for the new OpenAdresses.org project.

How about text note with house number, direction abbreviation and other 
comments?

Thanks for your feedback. Good idea, however not in my top priority list.
Needs a small thinking about UI, and should maybe related to issue #17 for 
direction
(http://code.google.com/p/osmtracker-android/issues/detail?id=17).

• Changed title: House number tagging
• Added labels: Priority-Low, Type-Enhancement
• Removed labels: Priority-Medium, Type-Defect

What are the exact field you would need for house number tagging ?

Following comment of a.kasparas, I was thinking of an "extended" text-note 
dialog
with specific fields.

text-note like feature would be ok. Maybe something with a phone-like dial pad.
That's much easier to handle than typing numbers over your android-keyboard (if 
it's
onscreen).
That input pad should also include special characters like a slash or hyphen.

I'm not sure about the direction. How someone's know to which side the number 
tag
belongs? Usually you don't run to every house and set your tag. You walk along 
the
street.
Does it make sense to put text pad buttons that say 'left'/'right'?!

Issue 23 has been merged into this issue.

Could something like that do the trick ? (However I don't know if it will fit 
well in
a device screen).

yes.
That's exactly what I had in my mind.
There are even a plus and minus to easily change the last input.
I only miss a button to clear the text field.

Yes, and probably a "Save & close" button, and a "Save & continue" button to 
stay on
the same screen (Or maybe it's save & continue by default, and use back to go 
back to
main screen ?).

The +/- buttons seems useful, however their behavior is to be determined when 
the
text field has something like "34a/b" or "123-125" in it...

There is a program similar to this feature request:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/KeypadMapper

This program only saves a timestamp, the information L/R/F and the housenumber. 
Another program must log the gps signal into a track-file. A python script 
creates an .osm file out of that information and the track. It seems to work 
very well and I could imagine using that.

I think it would be much better if it was directly implemented in osmtracker 
(without having to use python and a separate gps logger).

The mockup looks great. I'd welcome such a feature.

I usually tag numbers as text notes, e.g. "75r" or "12bl". But a keypad would 
simplify things.

I agree: the sketched mockup would be very very helpful for address mapping..

As a first (fast) improvement it would be nice to have a text box that adds a 
predefined text from the layout file whren saving. It could look something like 
this:
<button type="predeftextnote" icon="text_32x32" prefix="foo"/>
When pressing the button and enter "bar" in the textnote it saves the waypoint 
with the name 'foobar'. It would be possible to add 2 (or even more) buttons to 
the layout with housnumber_left, housnumber_right.

This feature could also be used for 
*tracks (grade)
*maxweight
*width
and so on.

Is there a new status of this proposal? I would realy like to get this feature.

Due to the fact that nobody reacted to my query I've decided to work with 
OSMPad which has almost all the features I was looking for. The only pain is 
that now I've to use both apps parallel.

In the attachment is a patch for comment 14. It extend the text note button at 
prefix, suffix and labels.

Additional to the old textnote syntax it following possible:
<button type="textnote" icon="text_32x32" pre="HNo " label="Housenumber"
/>
--> writes into the WP e.g. the text: HNo 10 

<button type="textnote" icon="text_32x32" pre="max " suf=" km/h"
label="max Speed"
/>
--> writes into the WP e.g. the text: max 50 km/h 

feel free to include this to the repository.

I also support this function, OSMPAD is not working for me. Also I would like 
to have +2/-2 buttons, not just +-1
