This check flags Points that have an addr:street value that does not match any of the names of surrounding streets.
The search distance for surrounding streets is based on a configurable value that has a default of 100 meters.
- Node id:847673678 has an
addr:streetvalue of Stykkishólmsvegur that does not match any name of surrounding streets. - Node id:2416844306 has an
addr:streetvalue of Vitatorg that is a typo of the nearby street Vítatorg.
In Atlas, OSM elements are represented as Edges, Points, Lines, Nodes, Areas & Relations; in our case, we’re are looking at Points and Edges.
This check first validates objects by checking that they are Points with an addr:street tag.
If an object is valid, the check gathers all name tag values from surrounding roads (Edges). The surrounding roads are defined by a
configurable search distance that is 100m by default. All name tag values are collected (name and localized name tags).
The addr:street is then compared against the collected list of street names. If no match is found the Point is flagged.
