I couldn’t make heads or tails of how to navigate with OSMAnd until thumbing through GitHub issues and finding out about https://opensupermaps.com/ which, after importing a few gigabytes of text files, allows general search of street addresses - not a great learning curve for adoption!

What I’d really like to do is copy the old school car GPS interface of, select state, select city, select street, house number, where at each stage it narrows down the list of possibilities so you only have to type 3 or 4 letters before auto completion. If there’s any pull request I would make it would be to build that out using the open super maps database

Maybe it depends on regional data availability, but here in the Czech Republic, that's mostly how search in OSMAnd works: You search for a town, then a street, then a house number. I don't know why it only works for you after importing third-party data.

Modern maps apps basically do this for you by using your current location or currently viewed area to automatically put the current city results first.
