I’m not sure how or why, but Magic Earth has a FAR more complete address list than OSMand or Organic Maps where I live. It must be pulling from another data source as well, OSM doesn’t have addresses for several neighborhoods in the city but Magic Earth does.
Would anyone know why that would be?
OSM not having massive chunks of my home city really does leave me with either Google Maps or Magic Earth.
I’d like to know as well actually as I’ve found the same. Maybe I’m just using Organic Maps wrong? But if I am, then am I wrong or is Organic Maps as Magic Earth works so much more seamlessly. Magic Earth website clearly states it uses OSM.
It substantially improves the issue I think you are describing by collating address data from OpenAddresses and making that available in the OSMAnd search.
Might I recommend Magic Earth?
Organic maps is great, but the search is really finnicky.
Magic Earth has amazing UI, search, it can acts as a dashcam as you travel and that video can pinpoint your place on the map. I’m loving it.
Absolutely Proprietary
Dang it! Didn’t even think to check … Boo! Organic Maps it is!

If you use OSMAnd, definitely look at importing addresses from this repo: https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation
