There is a railway=subway_entrance on the correct node that has an
optional tag of name which hasn't been filled in.
I think once that is done the problem is solved.
Thanks John

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
