House number attributes

1 Address and house number

1.1 Road name

The Road name is automatically inserted from the road network and cannot be edited within the house number editing menu.

When moving the routing point to another road segment with a different street name then this street name will be adopted.

If the road name is missing or needs to be modified, then this must be done within the “Road attributes” menu first.

1.3 Building name

Building names are the verbal address data that reflect a building or property name. They can be the alternative information to a house number or maybe also as an addition. Building names should be entered when officially recognized and as shown in reality. Multiple building names can be entered.

1.4 Language code

Language codes classify letters and numbers according to the language country set up. In many countries multiple languages can be official, so it is quite important when entering a building name to select the correct language code from the drop-down menu.
