I use OSM and Organic Maps, but I have difficulty searching by address or business. I end up using my computer, finding the location, matching it to the map in the app, and favoriting it. Am I doing this the dumb way? Is there an alternative FOSS navigation app which has this functionality?

    get distracted and exceed the speed limit by 1-2 km

    Your cameras give you a fine if you exceed by even 1 km/h? That’s insane. In my country it’s about 6 km/h or so above the limit where you get a fine. Every car is different so the speedometer might not show the exact speed right on the needle, and they know that speeds can vary slightly. You could also be right in the middle of slowing down, which won’t be noticeable in the instant of the measurement, so they add this margin of error of about 6 km/h.

    I guess it’s harder too if you don’t have automatic speed control on the car. 🤷‍♂️ If the cameras and fines are this sensitive and you only have manual speed control (gas and break), and new cameras keep popping up all the time, I can definitely understand that you would want alerts of when there are speed cameras.

    My car alerts me automatically so that’s also am advantage I guess.
