@lokjo@mapstodon.space the idea is great. Unfortunately, the OSM data seems to be used without any consideration for language or translation. So I look in my next bigger city for "Werkzeug" and "Eisenwaren". I get a few suggestions all over Germany. This one https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2881446090 is not found. what can be done to improve this?

@Zyfdnug@social.tchncs.de Thanks for your feedback. :) When looking for german names the best is to switch to german language (in the menu or in the Quick menu, blue round button left top) Then you just search for 'Werkzeug' and you select the blue 'Baumarkt' on top of the list, this will show you all baumarkts in the area. Here's an example https://www.lokjo.com/#m=14:52.27535:8.04834:s=025:de P.s. I've just added 'Eisenwaren' to the list, so you can use that word too to get to Baumarkten.
