I have over 700 street addresses that ultimately need to become a category or group of favourites in #OSMand. In the past I used a web service called something like nomenatum. I don’t think that option still exists. This article suggests batch encoding on this site, claiming it’s gratis but it looks like a costly subscription.

I must say that using a service to do the job of software is not a great idea. We have #OpenStreetMaps. In principle, OSM and a tool should be able to handle this offline without a service.

Of course it’s possible to search each address by hand in OSMand and then save the location. It would be absurdly labor intensive but it proves that a service is not needed, in principle.

Is there any way to feed a list of addresses to OSMand?

Or is there a linux app that can do this work, ideally offline?
