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?
