It could be but if I open and search on GMaps, I'll likely just end up using GMaps.
I think this other app used different source data for addresses (eg Google Maps or Mapbox API) because OSM business and address data is often very out of date and incomplete
Yes I'm aware you can search for addresses in OsmAnd, but the reality that I've experienced is that the address data in OSM in general is wildly unreliable (aka OSM and CoMaps often don't have the business name in the app, and many times even searching the address yields no results).
I believe that this app used a different geocoding service where address data was more reliable to do geocoding, and then when you picked the address you were searching for it would auto-open OSM and pass the geodata into the search field. It legitimately enabled me to use OSM / Organic Maps. Now without the app I'm back to being forced to use GMaps much of the time because places I'm navigating to are literally not findable via the search bar.
I'm a huge skeptic of the idea that the US would ever do anything to legitimately "make the world a better place" without having some sort of ulterior motive for fucking over poor people of color in the global south, but there's no fucking way I'm reading an article published by RT.
Nor for Israel, no.
That would be pretty fantastic, wouldn't it? I'm not sure what that would look like in practice, but I'm 100% with you. Reddit has been a pretty central part of my life for the past 15 years or so. It's really sad to say goodbye - it feels like the family dog got bit by a zombie (or, more realistically, got rabies). You've gotta put it down because the version of it that you know and love is already dead.
I mean, this totally fits the pattern of enshittification and the extraction of all actual value to maximize shareholder returns. Cut costs, make the product shitter, spend less money and claim losses to minimize taxes so that you can MAKE BANK BRO
This is amazing, thank you!
