All, The just released Osmand 2.4 allows you to tap a postcode on the map and ask details, for which you need UK postcodes file afyter 20 July. Again, see https://github.com/hvdwolf/OsmAnd-UKpostcodes/releases. There are no details but in the previous Osmand 2.3.5 and older, Osmand would crash if you did this.
