Hi

Apologies if this has been discussed before.

Have been working on OSM adding & updating details, while also checking 
OSMAND+ on my phone to see how things were actually showing on the map, & 
found something a bit unusual.

Search for a POI, select one, go to More Actions - Show Description, & it 
will give you the details for that POI that have been entered in OSM, 
together with a Lat / Long location, which is all fine.

However, it's also showing another location code, eg 5R3MXC5M+JM. Clicking 
on that field on the phone, doesn't seem to do anything, but if you do a 
Google search on that data, it returns a location on Google Maps, which is 
the location of the POI! If you try it now, by highlighting 5R3MXC5M+JM & 
doing a "Search in Google" it will return a location in Mermaid Beach, 
Queensland, Australia, which is the restaurant that I was looking at.

Why is OSMAND apparently showing Google Maps data? 

Anybody got any thoughts / ideas?

Thanks

Graeme
