Shame it doesn't do street numbers (possibly an OSM limitation?). Other than that, solid.
Many street numbers do not exist in OpenStreetMap because no one created them! So if you know about some area with this issue, help edit the map!
StreetComplete tasks got my neighborhood to be the best-mapped little village I've ever seen! π
Since I'm walking around for exercise anyway, I've got most of the addresses, and now I'm working on the fire hydrants.
Lots of places have street numbers (I can see them on the map) but for some reason don't come up in search.
I use Magic Earth because, for some reason, it doesn't have this problem.
I also use GMaps WV to get the address from Google and then just share it to another app.
Depends what you mean with "doesn't do". I haven't used Organic maps that much yet, but OSMand can handle street numbers. So Organic maps should too.
However it handles them very poorly, you have to type the address in a certain way or it won't recognise the number in it. Sharing from another app works pretty well most of the time though.
You need to go around with street complete and add numbers. It takes time but it is fun and good exercise.
