Having a problem with OSMAND that I think could be related back to the
way data has been entered, or later defined, in OSM?
Playing with OSMAND yesterday & searched for a local street but it
came back "not found". Tried a number of others with some found &
others not. Then tried changing the search town from "Gold Coast" to
individual suburbs & all the "missing" streets in that suburb were
then found OK?
If you'd like to please try yourself, in OSMAND, please set your city
/ town to Gold Coast, then search Dawn Parade, Honeyeater Drive & Rio
Vista Boulevard. There should be nothing found for the first two, but
Rio Vista should appear but with only two results - intersections with
Furlong Street & Cleland Crescent.
If you then set the city / town to Miami, Dawn Parade will show;
Burleigh Waters will find Honeyeater Drv & Broadbeach Waters will show
all of the Rio Vista Blvd results (~50 of them!)
BTW, they can all be found fine in OSM itself eg Dawn Parade Miami
gives

I think there may be two things at play here?
Only a few Gold Coast suburbs, including these ones, have had their
admin boundaries mapped (incidentally, as an aside, they've been
mapped as admin_level=10 - should they be =9?) eg
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/973018.
In addition, the overall Gold Coast LGA boundary hasn't been mapped.
Does that sound feasible?
If so, what's the fix? It would appear that mapping an admin boundary
has convinced OSMAND that that area isn't part of the Gold Coast any
more? Would mapping the Gold Coast LGA as admin_level=8 resolve it?
Or is this just another OSMAND problem? :-(
Think it is OSMand.
In NSW I tried some searches and could not find some streets.
However .. if I first searched for a town/suburb/hamlet and then 'went
there' it would find the street... strange.
Admin levels of 6 and 10 were present for these .. did not test further.
