district or zip code. afaik, at least zip is ususally available. and even if not, just listing _all_ occurences is better than current.

there's exactly ONE street -- nothing of "try and go back". and that street is about 30 kilometers south east of the one i am looking for.
btw: this statement clashes with the other one in the beginning ...

well, that's the final dealbreaker. i unistalled monav again. i would put up with non-functional street search and missing non-ascii chars -- but being dropped on a map w/o any indication where i am, renders the thing useless.

how nice for you. which map do you use? can you give an example of the multiple street names?
