Default Issue with BBMaps - 05-25-2007, 03:39 PM

I've noticed a problem with BBMaps and the way it looks up addresses. When I look up addresses in certain cities, it doesn't seem to have the city listed in its database. Instead it list the county.

For example if I look up the address

1347 N Main St
Walnut Creek, Ca

It will tell me the specified item could not be found and suggests
1347 N Main St,
Central Contra Costa, Ca, USA

While this is ok, if there are multiple N Main streets in the same county there can be problems finding the right one. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a solution?

I've had similar trouble, maybe, but I don't see it as BBMaps problem but fact that address I am searching for is not in the data. Sometimes I can find the address in GMM (and vice versa) and sometimes not. But this type of issue is rare occurence in my case - not something I see all the time.
