The problem with OSMAnd is the search feature is really bad and they are missing most addresses in many states (like Georgia)... I still use it instead of Google Maps but I often have to convert addresses to Lon-Lat using a 3rd party web service.

  I agree, search in OSMAnd is really bad. Organic Maps is a significant improvement in local search, but it doesn't have all the features that OSMAnd has. I use OSMAnd for mapping and Organic Maps for navigation and a Google Maps equivalent (in Germany Google Maps is trash and Organic Maps is much better).

  What do you use to convert them? I've been looking for a way to push a url somewhere and get back the position in osmand I am currently loading the location in google maps web and picking "Open in App" in the browser, but it doesn't always drop the pin in the right spot

    When I click a location and Google Maps gets loaded, it also just stays home and doesn't pan to that location... A few months ago the voice navigation started speaking funny too, mispronouncing words (I noticed it when she said "We found a faster route, which saves x minutes"), but that fixed itself.

  Use better map files. https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation

  The USA is definitely behind in OSMand coverage. Central Western Europe has a lot more detail and street addresses are easy to search for. It's not as useful to search by address in US and Canada but it has been steadily getting better.

    Here in Germany Google Maps is terrible. OSM coverage is much better.
