okay I just tried it. lol. How does it serve you well? It is absolutely useless. seriously… please explain.
anyone doubting me, go install it and try it out for yourself. You will see how useless it is. You put in a valid address and it says “no results found.” It has literally nothing. except it encourages you to download an entire map of an entire huge city for 220 MB. Why? Why is the only option it offers to download a huge data-heavy city and it won’t even take me to a simple address?
Of course you have to download the map ypu wanna use, duh. Plus I live in a third world country and it has everything so far including adresses and it works even for coordinates
That’s interesting, Organic Maps is ok for navigating to addresses when I use it. Are you sure you have the right maps? There is a high level overview map of the US, but then there are a lot of more localized ones for the individual states and some other regions. You just enter the address into the search bar and press “route to”. It has a few annoyances and the voice instructions don’t give you the street names (just “turn left in 300 meters” instead of “turn left on Elm Street in 300 meters”). I would say it not as good as google maps, but it is mostly ok. I use google maps as a fallback when I have to.
I have the same issue and figured the app only worked in the US. I’m in a 5 eeus country but every time I’ve tried the app I can only navigate to a street. Never a number on that street. Even after download the maps. Most sure what’s going wrong.

Well how else do you think navigation works?
Of course it’s going to need data.
Google gets away with it by streaming the data.
Smaller 3rd party mapping companies don’t have the infrastructure to do that so you download map packages.
That’s how it worked before navigation devices had always on internet connections.
220mb for a city it really quite efficient, I wouldn’t be complaining.
