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 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.
My favorite app ever, not just mapping apps is Locus.
It justbdoes everything I need when I am outside.
Doesn’t look like I can get that one without Google Play…
It’s on F-Droid
Link?
Locus is a commercial application from a small czech company (around 10 employees). Pricing is overall fair and they work hard to get wishes from the users in the app. But I can understand when one wants to prevent using apps which are using google services.
An open source app which goes in a similar direction is Osmand+ which is on fdroid for sure https://f-droid.org/packages/net.osmand.plus/
Yes I mentioned in my original post that OSMAnd isn’t working for me
Ahh weird. I just tested it and Osmand showed me the correct house just fine when I searched with a number. Tested for two houses. I had to download the map though, otherwise no results.
Yes, as I said, I can see the properties on the map but it will not find them when I search for them.
