• How to import custom maps:obf files to iOS
  1 project | /r/OsmAnd | 18 May 2023

  For anyone interested, here is how you import custom maps (obf files) to iOS using the Files app without iTunes: Download an obf file, for instance, from here or use OSMAnd Map Creator to make one: https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation / https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OsmAndMapCreator

• How to put my "custom" layer into OsmAnd while navigating
  1 project | /r/OsmAnd | 8 May 2023

  Might take a look at https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation as it pipes millions of address points into the regular map creation process, or https://shallowsky.com/blog/mapping/osmand-making-overlay-maps.html as you could perhaps paint the line features into a raster then encode the raster.

• Addresses - New Brunswick Canada

  Importing data from other sources into OSM is almost always a long and complicated process. It's usually not the most accessible thing for new mappers. Try to find out where a project stalled. Maybe contact the author of the wiki page you mentioned, or get in contact with your local community (most channels should be listed on https://community.osm.be ). From your data user perspective: there's a small project called OpenSuperMap where the maintainer creates files for Osmand that contain both all OSM data and all the addresses from some official source. So you get all the usability without having to finish the import first. Have a look at https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation , maybe your region is already listed. If not, add an issue. The tool works with OpenAdresses.io so it should probably work.

• Osm street numbers

  For OsmAnd, /u/pnoll uses OpenAddresses to make OpenSuperMaps available as a replacement files for a limited set of geographic regions. In fact, those in covered regions can use them to work around a recent OsmAnd map data update problem.

• OpenStreetMap is in trouble – a critical take on Bing Map Builder

• OsmAnd (OpenStreetMap) 4.3 for Android is fast with a new rendering engine

  While not ideal, I've found a usable solution.

  This GitHub repo [1] has map files generated using OpenAddresses.

  Load the appropriate one for your area and you can search using addresses in the normal format. They currently provide maps for North America, and are regenerated roughly monthly.

  (Thank you pnoll1!)

• I'm Done with Google

  Try OSM. It is more reliable than google in performance now, believe it or not.

  Address lookup is a shortcoming, and there's this https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation to help you get around that, and sometimes the routing algorithm used by Osmand in particular can be goofy from time to time, I can't speak to other clients. Finally, there's traffic, which is not a problem that can be resolved without collecting and processing data from all users, which I find unethical and so will live without.

• Best FOSS OSM app?
  1 project | /r/degoogle | 22 Sep 2022
• Based on your experience, what is the best alternative to Google Maps?
  3 projects | /r/degoogle | 3 Sep 2022

  There are 2 ways that address lookup can be fixed. The first is this Dev https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation/releases/tag/0.90 has a list of osm maps with address lookup built in. You download the ones you want and replace your map files with them and turn off auto update of maps. The second is an app in google play store called addresstogps 2 . You can enter the address then it gives the option to open the GPS coordinates for it in any app you choose. However it does use google as the search so its maybe not ideal for everyone.

• Why can't you enter specific addresses in OsmAnd+?

  If you use this website to supply your map source, you will be able to do the search that way.
