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?

Transit (Bike/Bus/Rail) and Waze, sometimes Google maps just for more...global maps. (Eg, stuff like finding a campground on a map, or a certain bakery)

Same except I supplement with Gmaps. Transit is fantastic if you know your destination but Gmaps is way better at looking around for restaurants for example
