Just thought I'd mention:

>>> 3) You remember a business' name and look it up in the phone  
>>> book, there
>>> you find the street name.

Phone book could be considered a copyrighted database, as would the  
online equivalents, but I think if you lookup a business on the  
internet and find their own website, you should be fine to take the  
road name and even post code from there.
