If you're searching offline only, then it is wholly dependent on the size
of the dataset you have downloaded and the speed of your phone.  That said,
I use it most in Oklahoma, and at 102MB, it's one of the larger datasets in
Osmand (71.2MB is average), and it's relatively snappy on a Pixel XL
running Oreo.  We've only really hit the point in about the last two years
where phones that can really handle what Osmand is trying to do fairly
effectively at a reasonable price point.

Try it on some POS Huawei or ZTE burner phone and you're in for a world of
hurt, from experience.  Probably have to put it on a SD card just to get it
on the phone at all.
