Honestly guys. I’ve used organic maps and osmand. Don’t like both. For my roadtrip I plan on using Waze or something. For some reason it’s so slow and buggy on my device, osmand crashes everytime and organic maps doesn’t have enough data of all the small places on the roadtrip.
Its not about contributing to the map data. There’s quite few quality issues with organic maps, from small things in the UI to how it calculates the navigation from A to B. I want to like organic maps, but its still far from usable for me. I do however regularly contribute to OSM - mainly thanks to streetcomplete.

There is unfortunately only one way for smaller businesses (or any for that matter) to show up, and that is people contributing to osm itself.
Edit: a word.
Excellent point. Maybe I can get back on StreetComplete and help out

It’s still dependent on the quality of map data.
