Trying out Organic Maps, I noticed two big things:

1. Man, this UI is so much faster than Google Maps.

2. Man, this has trouble finding addresses.

Hopefully they improve with time.

On my older laptop at home, Google Maps is horribly sluggish compared to just about any other map product.



> 2. Man, this has trouble finding addresses.

If you are or someone else is interested one can:

- add addresses to OpenStreetMap if missing (highly welcome!)

- report search problems to https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues

- or even submit fixes if they want

- wait till someone else will do any of above (to be clear, that is also OK to do this - noone is obligated to volunteer for above)

- I guess you can also donate to Organic Maps and/or OpenStreetMap Foundation but impact will be less direct


For sure. I've added hundreds of addresses myself. But still there's work to do.


Big thanks for help then!
