If I use googlemaps or the old classic mapquest for driving directions in the US it always finds the addresses that I am looking for but using the new mapquest in most cases does not because of the incomplete address information that it is using. If I am a user and I can't find an address within mapquest and then go to googlemaps and find it then I would not try the new mapquest again.<br>
<br>Why can't Mapquest donate the addresses that they currently use within the old mapquest (classic) to openstreetmap so that it has the complete address information?<br><br>John<br><div style="visibility: hidden; display: inline;" id="avg_ls_inline_popup">

</div>They use nominatim for their open.mapquest.* sites so if you can find<br>
your house on <a href="http://openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">openstreetmap.org</a> then you should be able to find it on<br>
open.mapquest.*<br>
<br>
If you can't, then you need to map it! Works for me. Although I don't<br>
think nominatim understands saying <address> "in" <city> - rather you<br>
can use a comma or nothing at all between the street name and the<br>
city.<br>
