As I was repeating the above example, every once in a while it would find the museum correctly. It is just very inconsistent. It misinterprets what it thinks I am looking for.

You would think that a well formatted address copied from Google maps would be a slam dunk.

    There is something more going on here. As I was running the above example, the results would vary. Every once in a while it would even find the museum correctly. So open street maps does have it in their database. It just was misinterpreting what it thought I was looking for.

    There is a frustrating issue with the CoMaps work flow. If I copy an address from Google maps into the CoMaps search bar, the application cannot find it.

    For example, if I copy the address listed for the Portland Art Museum into CoMaps search:

    1219 SW Park Ave, Portland, OR 97205

    The search result varies. Sometimes it is:

    Southwest 18th Avenue, 1219

    Sometimes it is for the entire road:

    Southwest Park Avenue

    Is there a syntax issue here? You would think this would be a very easy find.

    CoMaps is really solid but it needs to mimic the work flow of Google maps. Also, traffic based routing is essential for city driving. I would sacrifice a bit of privacy for the good of the community. I'm sure it could be done anonymously. I'd even be willing to pay for the service.

    As someone who grew up using windows, is there a series of tutorials or videos y'all recommend to learn Linux? I find myself running into issues, trying to find solutions online, and not even understanding the instructions. I'm sure most of this comes from not knowing bash (which I've started to learn using https://labex.io/linuxjourney).

    Background: I'm a very competent windows user. I've built my own PC, etc. I mostly use it for gaming and Internet now but want to start self hosting some things. Oh, and I'm running bazzite.

    Anyway, just trying to get out from Microsoft's thumb.

    Cheers.

    Edit: thanks for the replies everyone. I haven't had a chance to read through them all yet; the whole family is suddenly sick.
