its a great app. The search feature for finding the destination is kind of abysmal, though. At least in Tenerife

MODERATORS
Uhu, I often find myself having to search an address for a restaurant or other destination to input in OM. It makes sense why Google has a huge advantage here (and the other semi-major players in the space as well), but it’s still a bit of a shame.
100%... the googs has the data
BUT AT WHAT PRICE
You can always add any restaurant to open street map so that it comes up in Organic Maps of course. That's what I do most of the time when I can't find something on there. Streetcomplete isn't a bad android app to get started if you've never contributed to OSM before.
i keep forgetting that this isn't standard, like duh how else would a map app work?
but yeah no it's just normal for most people that they can't use the map without internet 🫠
