Osmand doesn’t appear to be able to locate street addresses. Like if I input something like “123 4th Street” all it can do is offer some cross streets, which may be miles away from my intended location.
Is there a way to augment it’s data so street addresses work? Maybe there’s a service I can add?
Similarly, it doesn’t know the names of many businesses.
You can use another service to navigate there. And than do your own survey, and add the addresses to osm. You are not allowed to copy from Google, but it’s not because of us, but it’s in Google’s terms of service.
After your initial survey you won’t need to use Gmaps again. And if you survey the neighbors, not just your original destination, maybe you can help others in the future.
Also mapping is fun! Try it, you will know better your area.
