OSMAnd Map files distributed monthly with tens of millions of addresses added
OSMAnd address search is painful and it doesn't have to be. These files allow searching for addresses normally again. This means you can copy/paste addresses from friends or websites!
Before: 4th Avenue 600 Seattle
After: 600 4th Ave Seattle
You get a huge upgrade in coverage. No more guessing if an address exists, no more web searches for addresses!
Files posted around the 26th every month
Data is added from OpenAddresses. OpenAddresses collates hundreds of millions of addresses from government sources and uses the normal abbreviated address format.
OSMAnd Files: AU, BE, CA, FR, MX, US
Script: Worldwide depending on GeoFabrik and OpenAddresses data availability
Option 1:
Download file from releases to data folder for OSMAND and it will auto load.
Option 2:
Download file from releases to phone and open it. OSMAND will copy file into its data folder and load it.
This will leave a copy of the file in the Downloads folder.
Deactivate the default map file(s) to ensure search pulls results from this file.
Restart app after changes otherwise search may not work properly. Restarting is done
by opening recent apps and flicking upward on app in Android.
Search using the normal address format: 600 4th Ave Seattle

OpenStreetMap extracts retrieved from GeoFabrik
