Re: OsmAnd displaying the wrong street for a POI

[john whelan]

I also noted this sometime ago.  I suspect we should enter it on github
somewhere as could it be corrected please.

OsmAnd displaying the wrong street for a POI

[Angela Morley]

I've noticed that OsmAnd has this habit of displaying the closest 
geographic street to a POI rather than the actual addr: street data encoded 
within the POI. Here's an example..

Within the first photo, OsmAnd is rendering the POI H&R Block as being on 
Chickering Street, however if I go into the POI and edit it, you can see 
the real value is 160 Winthrop Ave


 



Why is the app doing this? I'm sure this is a bug.

OsmAnd Editor missing addr:unit integration

[Angela Morley]

In the United States, it's extremely common to have businesses or 
residences sharing a common building, and to denote the difference in 
mailing address through a unit number designation. For example, for the 
building I live in, there's twelve apartments here, which fall into the 
following address format

XX Simpleton Street [Apt,Unit,Suite,#] YY
Anytown, USA 12345

XX = addr:housenumber
YY = addr:unit

The use of apartment, unit, suite, or # is completely decorative, but our 
postal service requires one as a separator between the street name and the 
number of the unit. Unit is the de facto standard where no other one is 
given.

The OSM editor plugin doesn't recognize addr:unit as a common key, which it 
is essential for most addresses here. Additionally, address lookups should 
include the unit number within the rendered address line

Personally, this is an issue because I'm trying to add POI for everything 
around me (I'm averaging ~200 entries a day), and much of this data can't 
be expressed in OsmAnd correctly because of this lack of support.

Can we please get some addr:unit support?

Re: Traveling duration / travelling speed

[We Ka]

Thanks a lot for opening the issue on github! Let's hope the developers 
quickly find a way to realize this feature. It would improve the use of 
Osmand a lot!

Or, there are available with reasonable price
phones with 64 GB internal storage.

It may be advantage to prevent SD access issues
for technically challenged users.

E.g. Xiaomi MI A1(Android One) has 64 GB internal storage. + up to 128
GB SD,
4 GB RAM, octacore CPU,  currently Android 8 Oreo,
with regular monthly system updates in equivalent of about 250 $.

I am very satisfied with it.

I bet it would be cheaper in US due being a bigger market.

I'd take this a step further and suggest a 64 GB card. They are very 
reasonably priced now. When you use full maps, contour lines, hillshading, 
Wikipedia (not just in OsmAnd but with Kiwix too--Kiwix also allows you to 
get Wikivoyage offline which is very useful when travelling), 16 GB could 
easily be too little space.

Buy a decent brand such as SanDisk. If buying on Amazon, make sure you're 
buying from Amazon themselves to reduce the risk of getting a fake.
