If you look on the "about" page of Magic Earth, it mentions "powered by" Magic Lane which is the engine used for searching and navigation. Only the displayed map is from the OSM project.
That doesnt really answer the question, as how could MagicLane find an address, it's just an engine, it shouldn't have any extra map data.
On the third party licenses a lot transit sources are displayed, but I cant find any address related source.
If the address is coming from osm, it may be not mapped manually, but only as part of an addr:interpolation line. Organic maps supports finding addresses in such lines, but it doesn't interpolate the position of the point, while Magic earth does.
Another option is they started to add overture address data, but forgot to mention on the licenses page? Overture has 400 million addresses released with an osm compatible license: https://docs.overturemaps.org/guides/addresses/
@[email protected] can you find the address on https://osm.org/ ? You could figure out fromthat if it's coming from osm or from another source
Thanks for clarification. I assumed they have their own DB of POIs but they mention somewhere that their data comes from the OSM contributors.
