Most effective map navigation app? (lemmy.ml)

I've been using Waze for the past year but I just looked it up and realised that it's also owned by Google. I tried using OsmAnd yesterday twice, but the first time I went through a tunnel it just stopped giving directions when I came out of the tunnel (a bug I assume). The second time on the way home, it took me down the wrong exit and I almost ended up at the airport!

Anybody have a better experience with other apps? I've just installed Organic Maps so I'll see how that goes this week.

With OSM I don't understand how to enter my destination address. Like today I needed to get from work real quick somewhere. I caved and went to the evil map. But otherwise I get to work with it in case the freeway gets plugged.
