@smallcircles Wow, just installed, and on first impressions I love it!

I was put off at first by immediately searching my home address and nothing coming up, so it would be useful to tell people that they need to zoom into the region to download the relevant map first.

@DarkOptimism @smallcircles Can you search by street number? The best I can manage is to find entire streets. Or is this an OSM thing?

Searching by street number works fine for me. In fact the street numbers are much clearer than I'm used to in Google Maps.

Someone else may be able to advise as to why if it's not working for you - I'm a complete newbie!

@DarkOptimism @samadeleine @smallcircles often building numbers have not been added to OpenStreetMap. I use StreetComplete - an app that let's you update OSM with little bits of info, such as building number. I have added this to many of the streets around Bristol.
