It is an issue to know in advance,
what a user will search for
if he has no idea what to search for.

And that is the issue finding or adding a tag that I can search for in OSMAND.

No, I have not said anything like that, that was wrong assumption of yours.
I have just said by other words, that searching/setting a particular
location, as well as routing based on OSM data is good enough, but
outperformed by real knowledge of the place or the roads.
That is far from being limited to OsmAnd,
I was talking generally.
One thing is if there is current mapping and other thing is to know what to
set as the navigation point, without looking at the map nor having
knowledge of the place.

So you are saying that search for in OSMAND followed by directions is a
waste of time and you should just click two points on the map? Even though
the address information is already there?
I accept your point of view as an option but was hoping for something more
useful. How is this done elsewhere? In Europe perhaps I seem to recall
subways with multiple exits last time I was there.
I think using nodes that are there already and connected to the sidewalk
would make more sense. I could of course fire up JOSM on a laptop and do a
visual look at the raw data.
Thanks John

Nothing beats the visual analyzator of graphical data representation.
Even if there were all needed data, user would not know, what exactly to
search for in the direct navigation to found given location.
Personally, as my general navigation approach , I use location search just
to show me the area, and then I choose the point manually, considered the
visual data.
It was once said navigation software is much better than if you got lost,
but cannot compete with local experts who know local specifics and details,
that either are not in data, or is hard to find/use them.

In Ottawa Canada at Lyon station I wanted to find a route to walk to 60
Cambridge Street.
The station has at least two exits one of which is closer to my destination.
How do I tell OSMAND where to start? Lyon station doesn't work well as the
station is underground and I don't want to know a route that takes me on a
convoluted journey underground and ignores elevators. I just want
instructions from a particular street level exit.
Thanks John
