 When I searched for my son's school — nothing. My address — nothing. I had to search for my town and download the map before it could search for anything. It still can't locate an actual house, although it can find a street. This wouldn't be at all useful for navigating. Am I missing something? 7 comments
@smallcircles I assume I must be missing something since a navigation app that can't take you to a specific address isn't much use.  @bodhipaksa I advise asking some of the experienced folks in other forks of this huge thread. @smallcircles Thanks. I asked Organic Maps themselves. It turns out that if Open Street Maps doesn't have the street numbers added, you can't use Organic Maps to navigate there. You can get to the street, but you might end up at the wrong end of a very long road. It turns out that the city I live in doesn't have any street numbers added on OSM.  @Bodhipaksa So there is help needed it seems. @smallcircles (Humane Tech Now) How are OSM adding street numbers, i thought, this info was pulled from officially available maps automatically?
 @bodhipaksa @smallcircles Google Maps can't find my house either (as it has a name not a number). @marjolica in Austria we downloaded Outdoor Active app, many routes and profiles of the routes https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.outdooractive.Outdooractive we used it for mtb routes and had much fun. |

@bodhipaksa not sure how that works.. new as well for me. I heard that zooming in on an area downloads the maps and then you have them locally.
