Question about an Android app (lemmy.ml)

I just got a new(ish) phone and am reinstalling all of the apps that I used to have on my old phone, and I remember that there was an app out there where I could type in an address, and then it would auto-open OSM by passing in the geo-coordinates. I cannot find this app again for the life of me. Does anyone have any idea where I can find this?

I haven't seen osm2gmaps mentioned yet. It by default only uses geo chords but you have the ability to add an api key for what3words that allows you to search addresses like you want.

@Fermentingflora @articpiecitylights Fabulous, very similar to the now-defunct map2geo, very comprehensive. I found out about it through your mention of the app, and it's truly what I needed. Thanks for sharing.
