Street addresses don't work? (lemmy.ml)

Osmand doesn't appear to be able to locate street addresses. Like if I input something like "123 4th Street" all it can do is offer some cross streets, which may be miles away from my intended location.

Is there a way to augment it's data so street addresses work? Maybe there's a service I can add?

Similarly, it doesn't know the names of many businesses.

I have found this app to be absolutely worthless when it comes to finding anything. It does a great job of showing where you are. I really wanted this app to work and it has potential. But until you can type a physical address and get a location, the app has no real utility.

If you want to find something add it by yourself.
