I can't get address search to work.
I tap address, it asks me for country. OK.
Then it asks for city. Hm, the place isn't in a city. I try the name of a nearby village instead. OK.
Street name, ah now I get what I want. I start entering the street name, but I can only enter one letter, which the program ignores, and it then asks me to enter a number.
I enter number on the street I wanted.
It takes me to some random road about 30km from the place..
EDIT:
It works with another answer for the "City" question. It seem this program has a different idea of to which village this place would belong to than I do...
Hm, it seems more complex than that.. So basically out of Country(Municipality(Town(greatervillagearea(villa ge(smallsubvillage(street)))))), where each is a smaller subset of the previous, Country, Municipality and village work for me in the "City" field.
Entering the Municipality name in the "City" fields gets me results from the wrong municipality, but oh well..
EDIT EDIT: it suggests street in right municipality as second option when I click the up/down arrows..
It even gets pretty close to the right address! Maps on N8x0 and Maps on Symbian was always about 200 metres wrong, in their own direction.. It's amazing how hard it's to get such a simple calculation done ok, if address is "Funroad 743", then it means that the location is 7420-7240 metres from the start of the road, and on the left side because it's an odd number, so one should get within 20m with just arithmetic alone, not knowing anything about actual building placements
Score for sygic here, getting it so close to reality
Would be nice to search for a street name in all of the country, and get a list of possible locations where such a street exists
