Hi, trying to use the Shanghai map on Android.
A couple of q's:
Searching is hard (I'm
trying to type the English name). Have managed to use the menu
Search->Google to find streets by typing in English name
If I find the street, when pushing '
'show on map', none of the street names are displayed
Is this a language problem with OSM / and how can I see street names (in English).
TIA

Settings -> Localisation -> Map language
Don't ask you question twice. That doesn't help you. It only makes it very annoying.

Thanks for the reply, however, I'm still stuck.
Settings -> Localisation -> Map language - is now set to English
The Shanghai map still doesn't show any street names (regardless of language). Major highways have an English name, that's all).
What am I doing wrong?

I'm sorry to say but this is really a bug in Navigator.
OsmAnd and Magic Earth do this without issues.

Some streets are visible in English.
In both other programs almost all streets are visible in English
