Tried to use OSMAnd last week to navigate around on vacation. For some reason it seems to be incapable of searching for house numbers, which is an instant dealbreaker. I’m very confused as to how or why this is a thing on such a mature product.
I was able to share a location from GMaps WV over to it to get navigation working, and from there the navigation was awesome!
Currently also testing Magic Earth and Organic Maps but I’m very interested to hear from those with more experience.

I love Organic Maps, it is clean, simple, and works for 95% of my needs. The rest of the times I resort to OsmAnd, which is heavier and more complicated but has many more options.
The house number search can be tricky with OpenStreetMap based apps, unfortunatey, but still better than using Google, in my opinion.
I used Magic Earth in the past, but it has some wrong information in my city (an important road is marked as closed and it calculates long detours) which is not coming from OpenStreetMap, so I personally don’t trust it.
Organic Maps and Magic Earth are awesome. The best I’ve had so far. Magic Earth is more optimized for driving, though if that is what you’re looking for.
I don’t think the data is there for most house numbers. Everywhere I go, Street Complete is asking me for house numbers.
They are there. If I zoom in I can see them. If I search in the other apps I can see them.
What is Street Complete?
With Street complete you can contribute to openstreetmaps by entering data for things in your proximity like house numbers, pavement types, directions of lanes, height of buildings and what not.
I use Organic Maps. OsmAnd is also pretty good.
