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?

    Yeah I’d recommend Magic Earth as well, I use it practically every day. I tried many other apps and it’s annoying that this one isn’t FOSS but I needed something that actually works

      doesn’t seem to work with Android Auto, which is the primary way I use it.

        Magic Earth generally works with Android Auto. I have already tried it. If so, then you have incorrectly configured or installed Android Auto or ME

          I realized this after posting my comment. it’s not listed in the app description so I assumed incorrectly. been using it for a couple of weeks now and it’s good!! the only gripe I have with it is that there’s no way to turn off spoken directions. a lot of time I use gps just to estimate my arrival time and don’t actually need it to guide me to the destination.
