Description and/or steps/code to reproduce the problem

Hello. I recently created an app to add housenumbers to OSM quickly. To place housenumbers, you add the housenumber and it displayed as a marker on the OSMdroid map.

Here is an example of what I mean:

As you can see, when zoomed in the housenumber is below the road. But when zoomed out the housenumber is above the road.

Is this a problem with OSMdroid or is it my code?

Here is the code to add a marker that I have used:

        markerList.add(Marker(map))

        markerList.last().position = GeoPoint(address.latitude, address.longitude)
        markerList.last().icon = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.address)
        markerList.last().setAnchor(Marker.ANCHOR_CENTER, Marker.ANCHOR_BOTTOM)
        markerList.last().title = address.housenumber

        map.overlays.add(markerList.last())
        Log.i("map", "housenumber marker added")

Environment

where in the documentation was it listed to use bottom? The javadocs don’t seem to specify this. The sample applications do use a lot, but that’s because most of the icons are pushpin style points in which the location represented by the icon is the tip of the point, not the center point of the icon.

“Maybe center would be more sensible default” - I guess you’re right, but now it’s a bit too late, with all the apps that already use osmdroid."

??? Is ANCHOR_BOTTOM the default option? I ddin’t even realise that, and I don’t think it matters. When I first made my app, according the osmdroid wiki you should declare the anchor anyway. What I am talking about here is how to make the wiki clearer so that other users do not face the same issues I did.
