Yeah, I tried to use it in rural ireland, and most houses do not have a number. However, even if a house had a number (and would show it on the map), searching it would still only ever give me the whole street as a result (Worse, often the first result was in a different village, hundreds of miles away...). Even in a well mapped major city area the search is very iffy about house numbers. As such I didn't even dare to do a more general search like "main train station".

Said that, it was usefull and other stuff worked great. Compared with the only other offline map I have used "here wego" (daimler, nokia, tizen) it does some things better, especially for foot / tourist type information, and you know, open source. But that search sure is an experience.

Yeah. I find myself using Google Maps on a web browser to look up the coordinates, then copypasta-ing that into Organic Maps.

Let's be honest, it doesn't work for 30% of listed businesses either... Typing in more than 1 word automatically returns utter crap.

If I type is SPAR, I get all supermarkets near me.

If I type in SPAR supermarket because that is what it is listed under, I get this BS, random supermarkets 60+ km away. Even if it could only parse out supermarket because of how badly it parses, then it still could take supermarkets near me.

When I type in just supermarket, I get the supermarkets near me. Any time I type more than one word, the search completely breaks...

You should make an account on openstreetmap.org and modify the map to make it select a better route. You are part of the ecosystem of open-source software and crowd-sourced data.

As other user said: Organic Maps uses data from OpenStreetMap, so the best thing is to go there and see how the roads in that town can be mapped better, if bike lanes are present, and if other characteristics of the roads that make them more/less attractive to bicycles are tagged.

I understand this can seem daunting to someone who has never used OpenStreetMap, but I'd encourage you to at least add a note on the "death trap road" to let other, more experienced, users know about the issue and check the tagging of that and other roads.

Long press any specific point where you have a comment, an edit button will appear where you can send a comment to the editors.

OrganicMaps appears to be gunning for the FOSS gold standard for maps.

It covers navigation needs pretty well. Have not used google maps since last year.

You can plan a route easily, but there is sadly no way to save it for later use

You mean to plan a route? Or to make sure that all point of interest are in the map? The latter is entirely possible, as it is openstreetmap.

For route planning, I actually don’t know.
