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.

    Yes I mentioned in my original post that OSMAnd isn’t working for me

      Ahh weird. I just tested it and Osmand showed me the correct house just fine when I searched with a number. Tested for two houses. I had to download the map though, otherwise no results.

        Yes, as I said, I can see the properties on the map but it will not find them when I search for them.

          Yes I understand. I just wanted to tell you that Osmand should be capable of that and it works for me. So maybe open a bug ticket to get this sorted.
