    It’s based on Open Street Map and sadly you need to know the location you want to go to (without needing to enter a door # I mean) in many cases because it relies on people entering the information on the map.

      Yep, this is what I do! After awhile of adding addresses and POIs, finding this info is no longer difficult in my area for the most part.
