So I have played with WhoGo on my Jolla 1 for a while and I can definitely say that I like it. I still need to put it through some proper test though.

I have my first question. Here in the UK, postcodes are the way of providing directions. Even a car park in the middle of a forest (for example, for a popular land mark) has its own postcode. Which profile knows postcodes? "Recommended for vector tiles maps" it ain't.
I am preparing OSM Scout Server version that has changed default and more meaningful error message when lacking maps for the selected backends. Maybe then we can focus here on WhoGo Maps

As for postal codes, OSM Scout Server doesn't support it. I don't know how to implement it exactly, would have to think about it. Corresponding issue has been opened: https://github.com/rinigus/geocoder-nlp/issues/38

I am sure that some online services do support it. Which ones and how much, don't know
