Osmand doesn't appear to be able to locate street addresses. Like if I input something like "123 4th Street" all it can do is offer some cross streets, which may be miles away from my intended location.

Is there a way to augment it's data so street addresses work? Maybe there's a service I can add?

Similarly, it doesn't know the names of many businesses.

How to disable minor roads while zooming out?

OSMand used to only crash 1 or 2 times per trip. It was usable enough. Now recently something changed with my config somehow and it shows extreme detail no matter how zoomed out I am. Every tiny street is being rendered. This is killing the app. It crashes so chronically it’s unusable.

Anyone know how to control this?

In “configure map” I have disabled everything except cycling routes. The “details” shows 0/9, which apparently only configures objects, not street details.

(edit) I think the “map magnifier” might be the issue. It was at 25% (the lowest), which I would intuitively think means less road detail. But it’s apparently counter-intuitive. I chose 100% and I seem to get less map detail -- which is what I need because the more detail, the more crashes. So I might have solved this.. need to experiment.

Is it possible? (waze has mp3 files available) - https://github.com/pipeeeeees/waze-voicepack-links

[EDIT] osmand path is : /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files/voice/en

Going to try replacing some of those files, as long as purpose matches. I'll update this thread.

I'm using a pixel 6 with gapheneos currently. I'm looking for a phone that is fast enough to use osmand without the 5 second lag when it has to render all details. Any advice?

I would like to contribute to the maps for my area by creating and uploading various POIs as I come across them in my daily use. To get familiar with the system I decided to add a known to me florist. I found the exact location using google maps, opened it in OsmAnd+, and went through the process to add all its details (address, phone, website, type, etc). However when I decide to upload it, signing in with username and password, I get the error in the image attached. Anyone know what the problem is and how I can solve it?

Edit: App Info OsmAnd+ 4.6.12, Released: 2024-01-16

Street Complete is quite dysfunctional for me. I just get a beige background with icons (+) (-) (ø) ≡. Long tapping gives:

• create new note
• create new track recording
• open location in another app

There is no way to specify a location to edit. If I go online and turn on GPS, the screen fills with questions to answer but still no map.

How do I get a map?

How do I specify a location to go to?

Whoever designed the OSM db either never uses ATM machines or they have never experienced anything like the ATM disaster in Netherlands. The OSM db has most ATM brands incorrect for Netherlands and seriously needs more fields so travelers can actually find a functioning ATM.

brands are mostly incorrect

Pick any Dutch city. Search » Categories » custom search » Finance » ATM. The brands are mostly misinfo. These ATM brands do not exist anywhere in Netherlands:

• Rabobank
• ABN AMRO
• Ing
• SNS

All those banks removed all their ATM machines and joined a monopolistic consortium called “Geldmaat”. There is generally an ATM at those locations but it’s always a Geldmaat ATM. So a simple find and replace is needed on all the Dutch maps.

For indoor ATMs, the brand is often incorrectly named after the shop it’s in. That’s useful for finding it but still missing important info: the actual ATM brand. ATM brand is very important because different ATM brand

I just added the Strava heatmap as a layer in one of my maps and this is very cool. Definitely better than in the actual app.

What are some other cool online maps you've integrated into osmand?
