I do not really have a way of checking this so please could you advise.
I do not have a comma between the house number/name and the street ie.
they are in the same field, and I wondered if separating the two makes
any difference when it somes to using VE mapping.
At present it takes me to the road (if known) but would it still look
for the road or the house name/number if it was in the first field?
BTW I haven't separated only because that is the way I started doing
it!
I've just done some experimenting with some addresses where I know
exactly where the house were. Interesting! It didn't seem to make any
difference whether or not there was a comma between the house number and
the street name. The program did make *some attempt* to position the
pins correctly, but on maximum zoom they proved to be not at all
accurate.
However, what did seem to make a difference was the relationship between
entering the locations and plotting them on the map! If I entered a
location for, say, birth as 1 Gorsefield Road then went to Mapping, the
pin would be at one end of the road. Then I entered 52 Gorsefield Road
for the death and went to mapping and the pin was positioned half-way up
the road. But if I entered the birth address and the death address and
*then* went to Mapping, there was only 1 pin in the map for Gorsefield
Road. I tried this with 3 different addresses.
