An difficulty came up yesterday while demonstrating the GPS at a California
state NFB convention regarding address matching and I thought some of you may
not be familiar with the problem and solution.
The example was an address look-up for the city of Laguna in California. The
first time you search on Laguna, you come up with 7 city names, all starting
with the word Laguna but only one that says Laguna. Choose Laguna and complete
the rest of the fields.
Now another person asks for an address in Laguna Hills, which was one of the 7
original Laguna matches found. You press Chord S and California is taken as the
default state field and then Laguna is presented as the default City field. If
you type in Laguna Hills, it will say city not found. Strange, you say, because
you just saw Laguna Hills in the list from the last search. If you type in
Laguna at this point, it just says Laguna chosen and moves on to the next
field.
Come to think of it, instead of telling you the answer, I'll ask you, what is
the work around? How do you find Laguna Hills in this situation?
