There is a work around that you can use: Install either AddressToGPS [1] or Acastus [2].
With those you click on the the directions icon on the individual's address book entry and they will look up the address and then create a GPS coordinate intent which you can then have OsmAnd (or Maps.me) handle. AddressToGPS uses Google for the address lookup. Acastus uses Pelias [3] for its backend, not sure which instance of Pelias it uses though. It really pains me that neither OsmAnd nor Maps.me properly handle a US address formatted intent from the stock AOSP contacts app and that another "glue app" must be used between the two. But with either of these apps (and there may be more) a work around exists as long as you have a data connection. Unfortunately, I usually run with mobile data turned off so it means I have to look up and bookmark all the places/people I intend to visit while I am at a place with WiFi/WLAN. For the moment, my preferred combination is using Acastus for the lookup and Maps.me for the navigation. But I still have AddressToGPS and Osmand installed and use them occasionally.
