I think we can add a clarification, which says that these directions are not exact, but usually based on the approximate position with respect to a milestone on the road.

That's a description of how somebody navigates to an address like that without a map. Keep an eye on the odometer. Look for "milestones." If you see a "milestone" numbered higher than in the address, you've gone too far. But it's not how you navigate if you have a map. Especially if the map display is capable of using GPS to show your current position. > > -- Paul -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
