I just thought that I would give it another try. The mapping is nice when it works but all too often it cannot find the location and then can be very messy navigating to the correct position. Well over 90% of my locations are in the UK so most of the time I don't put the country. Perhaps if you could set a default country for mapping so if it is looking for "1 Any Street, Anytown, Anyshire" then it would not offer me every "1 Any Street" in the world. It would be more logical if it centred on the right town or at least the right country.
