DuckDuckGo issues

Hey,
I would like to ask if anyone is facing the same issues and how to work around them if you do.
I had to check a couple addresses and tried OpenStreetMap, it couldn't find them correctly. I tired using Duck and it's map did find the right spots. So far so good. But I noticed Duck has no way (that I could find) to get the coordinates and use those as target destinations in other apps/sites (having coordinates would have solved the issue in OSMAnd as well). I was using Abrowser for this.
Another issue I notice, is that using their duck.ai service with Tor Browser in safest setting doesn't work even after enabling JS for duck.ai, duckduckgo.com ddg.gg ...
To be clear, usually Duck is not my first go-to choice (see above, first I tried OSM), but I would like to have it working since it's a less bad option compared to going to Google Maps or GPT for example.
Thanks for any help :)

Those maps are Apple maps. I don't know how better or worse it is to use Google maps via Tor Browser (I just tried to see, it works), which provides geographical coordinates.
Since I only use the html version of Duckduckgo, I don't see any map. Sometimes, when I search for a place in Duckduckgo, I find out that I was misspelling something, then it works when I search again in OpenStreetMap with corrected spelling. In some cases, it finds a completely different location, then what helps is to add some adminstrative division name. In US, maybe state is necessary (I probably already searched for addresses in US at some point but it was so long ago that I cannot remember). In France, the "département" is sometimes necessary, but it is very easy to misspell it.
But I don't know what kind of "couldn't find them correctly" cases you faced exactly.
