Glad it has bicycle directions, since that's my main use personally.
I just tried a search, and it got a POI location (a Minneapolis park building) right even though I misspelled it, which is something other non-Google maps are weak on in my experience. But weirdly I couldn't get it find my home address (also Minneapolis), either with street number/name/direction, adding the zip code or in full.
- Doctor_Fegg 7y agoOSM-based geocoding often fails if you include the house number (because that number almost certainly isn't mapped in OSM). Try removing that. obPlug: if you're after OSM-powered bike directions, I run https://cycle.travel/map https://cycle.travel/map
- abrowne 7y agoThat makes sense as an explanation. But it means it's hard to use in a city that has long streets with the same name the whole way.
