I've been using OsmAnd primarily for a few months. Some areas that it's fallen short, and forced me back to Google: unreliable and slow public transport directions, terrible default routing engine (solvable), lack of up to date local business information, search that can't find basic street addresses, no updates on road closures.

Organic Maps looks great, I'm going to give it a try and see if it solves any of these issues.

There's an app called StreetComplete (recently discussed on HN) that allows you to easily contribute missing information like local business information to OSM. If you can find the time, you can use that to solve some of the issues you have and help others at the same time! :)

I regularly contribute to OSM, but still 75% of the time, when I need a piece of essential information about a company, I can only find it in Google.

If you can't find certain business information or addresses in OSMAnd, that means it is missing from the OpenStreetMap database, so it isn't going to be in Organic Maps either.
