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.
I love Organic Maps, it is clean, simple, and works for 95% of my needs. The rest of the times I resort to OsmAnd, which is heavier and more complicated but has many more options.
The house number search can be tricky with OpenStreetMap based apps, unfortunatey, but still better than using Google, in my opinion.
I used Magic Earth in the past, but it has some wrong information in my city (an important road is marked as closed and it calculates long detours) which is not coming from OpenStreetMap, so I personally don’t trust it.
Is it? Or does it just not work?
Depends on if someone uploaded the data for the target area, and the lookup is not intuitive for North Americans.
As I said 4 other times in this thread, the data exists.
I saw that as I continued reading other comments.
