House Number Errors

DWG received a report from a home owner that we had three house numbers incorrect. He reported Your map has the house numbers of 40,40A,40B Templeton place labelled the wrong way. 40B Templeton place should be the property at the end of the driveway which I own and live in. 40 Templeton should be the first property on the driveway. 40A Templeton place is okay as it’s in the middle.

The location is OpenStreetMap

I will suggest to the reporter that they can easily change the house numbers themself, but if someone could look at this I would appreciate it very much. The person who added the addresses has not contributed in the last 6 years.

Hi, I have fixed the addresses in Templeton Place in
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/167558109#map=16/-37.03261/174.86141
I also added some driveways to clarify property access.

Thanks for that Nev.

Those address points came from the original LINZ address import, and LINZ still records 40B near the street, 40 furthest from the street.
BTW the original editor was an import-specific user, so no surprise they haven’t contributed since, their usual id is “ralley”

I guess we consider the report to DWG as “on the ground” correct, but the originator should contact Auckland council to get this rectified in their data.

Thanks. I’ll pass the information on our source of data to the OP.

FYI - DWG doesn’t necessarily consider reports to be correct, that is why we ask the local community to help out.
