How do I get a building address?

[pelepelin]

I've just installed OsmAnd~ 3.9.10 from F-Droid, downloaded suggested local map (Ru, Saint-Petersburg, 2021-06-01) and looking around. I can't find such a basic function like viewing full address of a building. Each building around my place has a number visible on the map. On the osm.org I see that each building has a full address like this https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/136170895

tag	val
addr:city	Санкт-Петербург
addr:country	RU
addr:housenumber	69
addr:postcode	195427
addr:street	Светлановский проспект

However, if I long-press inside of buildings in OsmAnd, on some buildings I get their addresses, on some buildings I get the name of a nearby street or just the city and district (like on the one above).

If I tap the number on the building, I get that number back in the panel, but the location in small font below is just something nearby like "..., аллея Глушко" in this case.

What am I missing here?

I can replicate your example: clicking inside https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/136170895 doesn't show the housenumber in the address.

I thought it might be a confusion with the stairway entrance nodes on this building having their own addr:flats tags. I experimented with similar buildings nearby and noticed that long-pressing inside https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/22995740 does give this building's housenumber if I click in its centre, but towards either end I get the housenumber of the adjacent buildings instead.

I hope this might stimulate someone who knows the explanation! Best wishes.

Unfortunately OsmAnd doesn't detect address correctly for large buildings cause it stores only 1 point from the building and then find closest point.

Any chance it can be fixed?
At least the second case, where the number is explicitly tapped, should be simple enough. When the number is tapped, the building is highlighted, so they are linked correctly. However, the popup panel shows only the number in the first bold line and not the full address and the second line still contains nearby address.

I hope so
