Comment:

 Replying to [comment:1 lonvia]:

 > Side node: please don't abbreviate street names (speaking of the 'g.' in
 'Gegužių g.' here). It is much easier for a machine to abbreviate a
 complete name than guess what an abbreviation means.

 I'm not sure about this. I use "g." because most of the time addresses are
 not found without it. As example - "13, Virsilu" finds only street object,
 yet "13, virsilu g." finds the house number. Data problem also?
