is utterly poo poo at parsing addresses. if you feed it a street with a full postcode it doesnt even bother to recognise it as an address.

computer parts posted:yeah in china i had to find an address for a hotel and it was literally "x street, next to the hospital and the grocery market" buildings in japan have numbers, just like western address systems. but they're numbered by the order they were built on a particular block. so you have building #6 next to #42 next to #11. and building #64 might be hidden behind #42 and #11. and the next block will have overlapping numbers, you better hope you can tell the difference between a street and an alley, dividing blocks or not.

computer parts posted:yeah in china i had to find an address for a hotel and it was literally "x street, next to the hospital and the grocery market" to confirm the above two posters; when i go to japan i wish i would get directions like this my place of work in the us is on a university campus. it technically has a street address, but the building is not accessible from that street, but its there for people that insist on having one for their addresses... (any mail or packages that only have the street address always has the name of the building in sharpie over it too)

also rural US has only gotten street addresses very recently and they're usually not very useful at all. gps coordinates is really the easiest way to navigate
