Hmmm! Are you speaking of, the Orientation Center for the Blind, in Albany, CA on Adams street?

Dear List,
I had a very odd experience yesterday. I was visiting Orientation Center
for the Blind on San Pablo. For some reason when I was checking the address
with the letter A, it said I was on the 900 block, which was incorrect, I
was really not the 400 block. And when I crossed an intersection to go onto
a different block it read it as being the 900 block, when it was really the
500 block. In a result of the address system being totally off, I was
searching for a restaurant around the area, I found one and set it as my
destination and created a route, but I found the restaurant was about 0.30
miles west from where it said it was.
Yes, this was a really odd experience.
The thing I enjoyed was all of the user point of interest that were around.
Everything was marked around Orientation Center for the Blind including the
snake path, Braille room, Computer room, Cafeteria, Gym, and with all of
these great markings, it got me straight to the particular door I was
looking for. I didn't encounter any issues with getting from the BART
station to Orientation Center for the Blind. I only ran into problems with
the address and the commercial POI. Everything else worked out great. I am
not sure if this is something that is fixed in version 3.5, I only have 3.3
as of current. If someone wants to check this out who has version 3.5, that
would be greatly appreciated and I do hope this is fixed in 3.5.
