I’m currently mapping in Ilulissat in Greenland. Buildings in Ilulissat typically have two numbers:
- the street number, increasing/decreasing as one walks down the street, and
- the building number (“B-number”) which is more random and seems related to when the building was built
Both numbers have significance, and they are typically both posted on signs on houses, see these photos I took.
In a smaller town on the little island Uummannaq not far from Ilulissat (by Greenlandic scale), houses have only B-numbers, i.e. those which don’t necessarily increase as you walk down the street.
Now, how do I best map this: Do we have a tag for building numbers, distinct from addr:housenumber?
