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.
Then give me the option for a form with “number, Street, City, State/province” as an option.
Comaps is great when you know your lat/lon. The search is terrible to the point of broken though.
Problem is not everywhere in the world they use that style of addresses. Japan famously doesn’t use street names for the most part, for example.
No shit - but you don’t use one form for all locales. You can localize it. The parsing it does now is broken to the point that I lookup places in Google Maps and copy coordinates to Comaps because even when it has the address it only works like 80% of the time.
Noone stops you from writing an issue or even implement what you say in code.
