I just got a new(ish) phone and am reinstalling all of the apps that I used to have on my old phone, and I remember that there was an app out there where I could type in an address, and then it would auto-open OSM by passing in the geo-coordinates. I cannot find this app again for the life of me. Does anyone have any idea where I can find this?
Yes I’m aware you can search for addresses in OsmAnd, but the reality that I’ve experienced is that the address data in OSM in general is wildly unreliable (aka OSM and CoMaps often don’t have the business name in the app, and many times even searching the address yields no results).
I believe that this app used a different geocoding service where address data was more reliable to do geocoding, and then when you picked the address you were searching for it would auto-open OSM and pass the geodata into the search field. It legitimately enabled me to use OSM / Organic Maps. Now without the app I’m back to being forced to use GMaps much of the time because places I’m navigating to are literally not findable via the search bar.
Is “search in gmaps, copy coordinates, paste into Organic Maps” not a viable solution?
It could be but if I open and search on GMaps, I’ll likely just end up using GMaps.
