Hello, I live in Quebec City. I tried to use OSMand (based on OSM) in my
City using offline mode and the OBF file of the Province of Quebec. Every
time I search an address it can not find it! Sometime it offer me other
address, sometime not. It's like if only a tiny part of Quebec's address
had been insert in Open Street Map. But, it's not exactly the case because
is has more address in Open street Map website.

Look at that example, searching: 2985 rue de la Broussaille.
Osmand can't find it by OSM web site gives:

Maison 2985, Rue de la Broussaille, Neufchâtel-Est, Les Méandres, Québec,
Québec (Agglomération), Capitale-Nationale, Québec, G2C 0G3, Canada
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/104093690>

I think it has a problem there. A lot of information should not be there
and the zip code is bad. It should be G2C 1S1. If that address is in the
OBF, I supposed the app have difficulties to find it.

The good address is: 2985, Rue de la Broussaille, Québec, QC, G2C 1S1,
Canada


An other test: 920, rue Noël-Carter

Osmand can't find it but OSM web site can:


École Centre de formation professionnelle Maurice-Barbeau, 920, Rue
Noël-Carter, Sainte-Foy, Québec, Québec (Agglomération),
Capitale-Nationale, Québec, G1V 1X3, Canada
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4974207123>

The good address is

CFP Maurice-Barbeau
920, Rue Noël-Carter, Québec, QC, G1V 5B6, Canada

An other zip code error and an other address full of "dust".

Every-time I tried to find something it's the same thing. It's impossible
to use Osmand as a GPS in Quebec City. I think it's because the data in the
OBF of the Province of Quebec is bad.

Is your work have been put in the OBF? Does is exist and other OBF for the
Province of Quebec than the OF we can find there?
