Address searching is done by different software. Nominatim http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim is the usual one. Maperitive has its own find for local maps. It now looks as if Canadian postcodes are supported via Geocoder.CA which is a big improvement, they were only supported before if entered incorrectly without the space on the map.
Nominatim is aware of some locations such as Ontario but finds ON in an address difficult to determine even with a country added. It works best with UK addresses as the developer is UK based. Country specific code gets added slowly. Cheerio John On 13 August 2010 11:18, G.
