@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).
Just going on a hiking holiday and just downloaded Organic Maps for the area (Tyrol, Austria).
Tried to see what it can tell me about some of the hikes I'm thinking about and looks like it give generally useful results with info about the places, distances, times and elevation gained and lost.
Google Maps is useless if you're walking off road and not great for cycling either.

@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.
