Better support for addr:unit #19979

Open tastrax opened 4 months ago

tastrax commented 4 months ago

Describe the idea (required)

Support easier access to addr:unit on basic and advanced screens

Tell us about the expected behaviour (required)

When adding a new POI have the addr:unit field available for completion - either next to building number on the basic screen or as a quick pick on the advanced screen

In Australia many blocks of land have multiple freestanding units with the same housenumber but each has a unit number. Many folks are now 'fudging' the unit numbers like 2/57 or 57.2 (in the addr:housenumber key) - neither are correct and need to be constantly corrected. We are in the process of a country wide cleanup and noted that many of the incorrect format entries were coming from OsmAnd.

Tell us about alternatives you've considered (required)

We are commenting on changesets to make people aware of the issue but better support for addr:unit may alleviate the issue altogether (at least from OsmAnd)

This doesn't have anything to do with searching. Its about adding an address POI.
