There is a frustrating issue with the CoMaps work flow. If I copy an address from Google maps into the CoMaps search bar, the application cannot find it.
For example, if I copy the address listed for the Portland Art Museum into CoMaps search:
1219 SW Park Ave, Portland, OR 97205
The search result varies. Sometimes it is:
Southwest 18th Avenue, 1219
Sometimes it is for the entire road:
Southwest Park Avenue
Is there a syntax issue here? You would think this would be a very easy find.
When i put just “1219 SW Park Ave, Portland” it immediately finds the museum. Municipal code formats vary everywhere in the world and my best guess is that it gets confused by the extra numbers at the end. In general my experience with osm applications is that less verbosity is better for the search.
As I was repeating the above example, every once in a while it would find the museum correctly. It is just very inconsistent. It misinterprets what it thinks I am looking for.
You would think that a well formatted address copied from Google maps would be a slam dunk.
