I'm looking to never have to use Google Maps. Is OsmAnd+ the best?

That's interesting, Organic Maps is ok for navigating to addresses when I use it. Are you sure you have the right maps? There is a high level overview map of the US, but then there are a lot of more localized ones for the individual states and some other regions. You just enter the address into the search bar and press "route to". It has a few annoyances and the voice instructions don't give you the street names (just "turn left in 300 meters" instead of "turn left on Elm Street in 300 meters"). I would say it not as good as google maps, but it is mostly ok. I use google maps as a fallback when I have to.

I have the same issue and figured the app only worked in the US. I'm in a 5 eeus country but every time I've tried the app I can only navigate to a street. Never a number on that street. Even after download the maps. Most sure what's going wrong.
