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?

For motorcycle riding i use calimoto. It has an option to find the most curvy route to your destination. It also works offline, which is great when riding in remote areas with poor cell coverage or foreign countries with expensive roaming conditions.

Also it can track your journey and show elevation, acceleration, speed and lean angle.

Unfortunately it's subscription based now, but i was licky enough to buy it before that, so i basically got lifetime premium account.

One more downside is the shitty search function. even with the exact address copy pasted it almost never finds the location.
