House numbers and house number structure

House numbers are the individual address data displayed as a point object. A house number object needs to have a house number or a building name included, or might have both. The following chapter gives an overview about the structural elements of a house number in Map Creator.

1 House number structure

The house number structure describes the single elements that define the house number object. Those are the house number icon, the display point and routing point of the house number.

1.1 House number icons

The house number icons are displayed as square icons and include the house number information. They should be located at the entrance of the building where the individual house number can be seen in reality.

If a house number and the building name are missing or a house number is missing, but the building name is included, then the square icons display question marks. Dotted lines within the square icons indicate that the house number information is too long to be displayed.

1.2 Display point

The display point is represented through the house number icon as a red circle and can be moved in all directions to identify the correct location of the entrance of a building.
