Hey, I really like using Organic Maps and liked using OSM+ before that, but trying to find things by the standard US address format “<address number> <Street name>, <City>, <State>, <zip code>” just fails spectacularly for me. Anybody else had that issue, or know of solutions to that?
I’m sure someone more knowledgeable can comment, but my understanding is that the street address data is often incomplete. Is that what you mean, like it knows where a town is, but can’t put you at a specific address in that town?
Right! Towns are great at finding, but even public buildings addresses are unavailable.
Many addresses are still missing in OpenStreetMap, hence that might be the issue.
Can you please check if the address you are searching for is found on the website itself? If not, you can add it yourself. If it exists, file an issue with Organic Maps.
A good app for adding addresses to the map, amongst other things. https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete
Isn’t there a “trick” to put the address number at the end?
Not sure, doesn’t do anything to help in Organic.
Oh sorry, I misread. I was talking about osmand
No worries, I will have to try osmand again to try that out!
