[talk-ph] testing the address and street search in osmphgps garmin map

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Hi Noli,

I'm still not sure what kind of app you want to do.

Are you developing an app that will:

1. do geocoding and/or reverse geocoding using currently existing data
in the OSM database?

2. or help in increasing the geocoding-related data in the OSM database?

3. or both?
