My point is that I'm not seeing a problem searching for an address. Searches seem successful and changes the location to that address. From there I can get a map or directions or gas prices, etc. Perhaps I missed the point of the thread. It seems to "find" addresses OK.

OK, that works, most of the time. It seems odd to me you have to put the city / state in there twice, once on the search box and another time in the location. I was expecting to put in street number / name in the search box and city / state in the location.....
Also, in the search box, putting the zip instead of the city / state doesn't work. And you have to put rd / ln / st or it doesn't seem to find the address.
I guess it is just a difference between Google and Live Search. Google is much more free with formats and seems a lot more intuitive to work with. But glad Live Search is working..... |
