I have taken a look at ZaNavi OSMAND etc., on android.
Most of these in offline mode offer only POI search.
If I want to search for an address(need not be house numbers) and
enter a road name, it usually does not work.
Anybody has any success for OFFLINE address search, where I can put in
something like
XYZ Road
And then it gives me names of all XYZ roads in an order dependent on
distance of object from my current location.
Osmand offers address search which works reasonable well for me. What
one could see as "missing" is that it does not apply address
interpolations, so that for address interpolations in the map only the
explicitly tagged nodes at both ends are found. On the other hand I
personally like this decision at least as one option as it shows where
additional mapping might be necessary, and looking at the map it's easy
to "interpolate" by hand in these cases.
If you didn't find the address search: go to the search activity where
as a default the POI search is selected (icon is an italic i bubble) and
select the address search (icon is the house) instead.
