Someone should build a good, open, web API-based search for OSM data. Not everyone cares about 100% offline capabilities, and improving search would be a massive gain in usability for OsmAnd and other OSM clients.
- solarkraft 4y agoI'm pretty sure this exists, but the tooling around OSM all seems pretty obscure and badly documented. There aren't really flagship apps, which I'd argue there should be. It took me a lot of research (on official OSM pages) to find Organic Maps.
