Re: FTM 2009 - places - Complete Address

Jon,

I tried to find the details of where I addressed the complete address question. It a appears that the thread was deleted.

So, I'll try again.

1 - Enter Manchester, Lancashire, England in the Residence FACT Place name and resolve it on the map. Put the street address in the Description field

2 - Enter the complete address in a New Residence field by adding the street address before Manchester. Resolve this place by Ignoring the warning.

I looked at the map, and the Push Pin was NOT in the correct place, as I could see Wood End Lane and there is no feature to move that pin.

In looking at this a little closer, I see Woodend Lane and I see Wood End Lane in the Bing (MS Map).

Taking this problem one step further, I looked at Google World. It couldn't even find Woodend or Wood End Lane. I was able to zoom in on it.

The street view and Aerial Views were very similar.

I looked at one of my locations, in the US, and the push pin was also off. I am pretty sure that the push pin had been much closer to the exact address. But I think that MS Maps have changed.

I then went to Google Maps, and it wouldn't come close. It could not find Woodend Lane, only found Woodend Road.
