Tried to use OSMAnd last week to navigate around on vacation. For some reason it seems to be incapable of searching for house numbers, which is an instant dealbreaker. I’m very confused as to how or why this is a thing on such a mature product.

I was able to share a location from GMaps WV over to it to get navigation working, and from there the navigation was awesome!

Currently also testing Magic Earth and Organic Maps but I’m very interested to hear from those with more experience.

    The link I posted, the dev has inserted address data into the map file for every state in the us plus some other countries. You download the obf file for each state you need. Then in android data subdirectory in your filemanager where osm puts its own map obf files you’ll replace there’s with these. You’ll have to either use a third party file manager app or a computer will work. If your maps are on the SD card, then it’ll be in the same directory but under the SD card.

      My guy you posted like 74 comments so maybe I missed the one with the link in it.

      I see no reason to go through the trouble of dealing with these workarounds when it’s simply not a problem for other apps and when I can already find the data with GW Maps.

      But thanks anyway.
