Bug Description

In uNAV, only streets names are searchable, house numbers are ignored or, at least no search results are found if an address is typed with a house number. For longer streets this is a catastrophe!

Is it an idea to ask the country, city, street and house number separately from the user?

@Markcortbass: Good idea, but that will add a complex form to the user. The new search options will include km to destination and the user can set the city or country in the search, then I think this will keep like it is.
Best regards.

Actually I just found that in my case it is easy to fix this problem as most of times the problem comes from openstreetmap, either:
 - the place you look for is not the openstreetmap yet or,
 - the place is there but no house number or name have been put (like no number is shown on top of the house).

So the easy solution is just to go to openstreetmap.org, register as a new contributor and update the map! Then you have to wait for openstreetmap and Nominatim to update (which can take some time...) but ultimately it will beautiful work in unav!

I can go home easily now! :)
