What navigation app do you use? (lemmy.ml)

I use OSM and Organic Maps, but I have difficulty searching by address or business. I end up using my computer, finding the location, matching it to the map in the app, and favoriting it. Am I doing this the dumb way? Is there an alternative FOSS navigation app which has this functionality?

I use OSMAnd+. The searching is the biggest problem, so I will contribute to StreetComplete in an effort to improve the areas in which I travel.

When I do need a location that isn't found in OSM, I'll grab the coords from LatLong.net and copy/paste them into OSM. When I get to the destination, I'll pop open street complete and fill in details in the hopes that next time will be better.

I really wish this was built in!
