[Qgis-user] offline address geocoding

[Clifford Snow]

David,
I'm a volunteer contributor to OpenStreetMap. A few of us are working to
import addresses into OSM. (Although not all countries have addresses.) I
had not considered addresses useful for disaster preparedness. Can you help
me understand how address help?

Thanks,
Clifford
