My number one gripe with organic maps is how fragile the search is. If you don't write it exactly right, you get no or irrelevant results. Also, it seems to have no clue of what is popular and what people expect when they search for something. I'm not talking about personalized results but for example the following: searching for "Eiffel", leads me to minor roads, restaurants and all kinds of results unrelated to the Eiffel tower. This is what is troubling me the most.
Yeah. I find myself using Google Maps on a web browser to look up the coordinates, then copypasta-ing that into Organic Maps.
Try this from Sopranica. lemmy.ml/c/sopranica

That looks like exactly what I need. Seems to work pretty well already.
Thanks!
