Is it possible to have one file that simply adds every single one in say USA? So we don't have to download and import for every state.

I'll have to research this.

The best workarond for now is probably using a download manager to download files directly to the osmand data folder from opensupermaps.com. This way you should only have to put the urls in once and then tell

Notes (mainly for me): OsmAnd Map Creator (OMC) will crash if ran on large areas with the amount of RAM I have. If OMC has a tool to merge obf files together after creation, large regions could be created indirectly. There is a tool called binary merger in source code. Docs say: It is highly recommended to keep file sizes below 2 Gb so it's possbile that the option to download the US in the app is just a shortcut to download all the state files.

Something I'm unclear on and am unable to find explained: why perform the merge? Is an obf created with only OpenAddresses nodes and without OSM data unusable or inefficient?

I think I tried addresses only a couple years ago and it didn't work.

The obf docs goes into detail about how the indexs are built and it looks like it assumes place relations and streets will be present or it doesn't build the index.
