[Talk-us] Smartphone App that searches OSM addresses?
In the case where a county completely revamps its road network and addressing scheme for E911 purposes, then authorizes its road and address data to OSM, and it's properly imported, are there any Smartphone apps for both Android and IOS that would search those addresses? And have turn by turn routing. My cursory review: OffMaps2 - Yes on address search, no on routing GPS Nav - uses commercial address reference over OSM address Scout - " " OSMAnd - theoretically Yes on Android (I haven't tried it), I can't get any OSM address search to work on iPhone Any suggestions? ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

FWIW, I’ve never had OsmAnd on Android properly handle a US style street address in a geo intent. The only geo intent I’ve gotten to work was a lat/lon pair. This makes it unusable when selecting an address in the contact app and trying to display its location or compute a route. It will, however, do an address lookup within the app properly with OSM state, city, street and house number data. At least for whole numbers on house numbers. And you can route to the address that you’ve looked up this way, etc. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Smartphone App that searches OSM addresses?
I am using the Android version of Maps.ME and there is a IOS version. I just tried an address in Maps.ME. If found an address that I knew was there. You have choices to load state by state files. High zoom tiles come by default with the application so that you have reference roads. You will be asked to load the state file as you zoom in to find detail. The search/routing requires that you select the larger of two available files for the state. I have not tried to create my own tiles. They do provide a quarterly update to the files along with the application if required. I suggested the IOS version to my sister who may travel to Europe. She seemed pleased. I wanted to use a Garmin like app for Android for the files that Dave Hansen produces of the US. I tried Maps.ME before I searched for other options. The Maps.ME application fixes the roaming data problem that I have with cell coverage in Arizona. I found an old working Samsung 2 without a sim card. I turned on Airplane mode and reenabled WiFi access--saving battery. I have all the states west of the Mississippi loaded on that phone without addition microSD card use. That allows me to take pictures with Mapillary on my primary phone yet still have map coverage with the second phone.
