Small errors in address interpolation are expected, and in these cases its
best to create a user POI at your door so you can find your way back.
The issue with Deb was more drastic in that the address range on her block
should have been 6500-6599 not 6400-6599 that's 100 addresses which don't
exist. TeleAtlas has been notified of this issue which affects a number of
streets in Seattle.

I have never been able to get my GPS to recognize my exact address either.
When standing near the front of my home,it tells me I am at 2299 but will
never give me the correct number which is 2280. It will either do that or
give me an address on a small court a couple of hundred feet behind my home.
I am glad that I and my Guide Dog know where we actually live or someone
else might get a big unwelcome surprise.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Question about Addresses
I had a GpS many years ago butt did not upgrade it when I went to
the MPower. I have a new one now with my Apex and really am amazed with all
the changes and the new receivers.
One puzzle though is that it does not recognize our home address. I
think my prior GPS did and those for taxis and delivery all recognize it
from my experiences. Its not a satellites problem. It actually couldn't set
it as a destination. And when I got here, it identified it incorrectly which
is no surprise given that it said it didn't exist when I entered it as the
destination. Maybe I should stop paying property taxes on this address,LOL.
So do different systems have different maps? I ask because, as I
said, I know that taxi drivers, friends etc. put my address into their
destinations and plan routes here. But both of our Sendero units do not
recognize the address. Any way to calibrate it or do anything other than set
a POI? Will this potentially be improved with the new maps system? My
address is totally consistent with other numbering in the area, and the info
from the GPS actually isn't reasonable.
