Destination search in all the OSM based maps is a challenge. The Latin letter transliteration only applies to large features. So if I want to find an address in a country try that doesn't use Latin script, I literally need a keyboard in that language or do a lot of cut and paste from Google Translate. My address never, ever works on OSM. Gets the wrong street, can't even handle house/building numbers. Works fine on Google.
Magic Earth handles it decently.

Holy shit. Yes, it does. Thanks! Hadn't heard of it until today
Not FOSS though. But privacy first
