Man, I had hoped they fixed the search.
Those apps are fictionally useless for me. Does anyone know how to use it?
You could add addresses to Open Street Maps
you mean comaps? Search is just a bit slow but not a big deal at all. I'd rather that than having Google spy on my ass everywhere I go.
Of course, I don't mean speed, I meant the search format. On Google I can search for an address with the usual format of 123 Street, City. If I search that way on Organic/Co, it doesn't pop up results the same way. I just never understood it besides being an offline map for my reference.
I don't know about other countries but here in germany I just type the street and the number of the house and it takes me to it. (as in Street 123, City)
