OpenStreetMap has similar problem. Often, finding a street name requires futile, fumbly scrolling and resizing. Quite frustrating.

On the main website you can use the "query features"-function. It even returns roads first and shows their name if its set.

In the Organic Maps-app, in osmAnd and in MagicEarth long tapping on a place returns the nearest street name or address.
