Description

Hi,

I am not sure, whether this is the right forum for my question. Maybe you can point me in the right direction, if it is not.

I have a Google-free phone and use MicroG together with openbmap and nominatim location backend instead of google play services. As I have found out, Nominatim doesn't seem to work anymore due to Api changes.

My problem is that whenever I tap on an address of one of my contacts in the Android Contacts App in order to locate the address in OsmAnd, the address is not found in OsmAnd. I just get an error message "Address not found".

I was wondering, whether this has to do with the MicroG/UnifiedNLP setup (e.g. Nominatim not working) or whether this must be a bug within OsmAnd.

Does it work for you to locate an address in Osmand from within the contacts app? If it works for you, what is your setup?

Any help would be appreciated.
