[OSM-talk] Android routing application - With some level of OFFLINE address search
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. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

If you want to help in developing the feature for easy street searching, you can donate to the cause here: http://www.bidforfix.com/p/osmand.net/ Under fulltext street/address search with suggesting. I guess this is what you are talking about? Janko 2013/2/22 Tanveer Singh tanveer1...@gmail.com I have taken a look at ZaNavi OSMAND etc., on android.

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. regards Peter ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
