<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Brian: Address search in the US map from 2014.10.23 should now works for New York. I've tested it in simulation mode but it would be great if you could test it out to confirm it's working as well. Thanks for pointing out the issue. <br><br></div>Gerd: I've attached a patch that I'm using to fix the New York address search. I've also included a small change in Canada and the US which removes the 'City of' in front of city names when it's there. Nobody uses the official 'City of' form of city names so it doesn't make sense to have it in the default style. Let me know if there are any issues.<br><br></div>Thanks, Ben<br></div><div><div><div><br><br></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 11:39 AM, Gerd Petermann <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gpetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com" target="_blank">gpetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Unfortunately New York<br>> really is a weird case (I don't know of any other such case in the US),<br>> but arguably it's important because a lot of people live there :-)<br></div></div></div> </div></div> </div></div>
