Integration of the Deutsche Post address data set into the ATKIS®-Base-DLM
Status:
Street names in ATKIS®-Base-DLM
are partially available
House numbers in ATKIS®-Base-DLM
are not yet available
data set “Georeferenzierte Gebäudeadresse” provided by the German cadastre is to be integrated
 but, German-wide provision will take some years!
