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?

Fair point, I suppose. Though the original commenter said that "apps" [in general] are unnecessary. That's how I interpreted it. And that they are so due to the grid system where they live. I call BS. I bet it helps, but not for someone who isn't used to it either. It wouldn't help me, as a European, because I have no experience with it.
