I thought OSM doesn't have postcode search by default. There's some voodoo required?
Oh hang on, OSMAnd is an app? Forget what I said, I thought that was a typo.

OSMAnd is an Android app (and apparently iOS now too) that uses OSM data. It does have postcode search, but only for postcodes that have been marked within the OSM data. I tried 4 and none were in there...
However, it does have a very good street name search. Combine that with Google maps (or cycle streets) and you're in a good place.

Yup. As will CycleStreets and Google maps. Better to spend your money on a backup battery and a decent mount/case solution than a Garmin.
If you're wanting a circular/meandering route then it's sometimes nice to spend 5 mins putting in a vague route (by hand) with osmand than putting yourself at the mercy of GMaps/CycleStreets etc
