  I agree that a separate solution would be best for multi-storey offices. 
A tradeoff with a separate solution is that frequently I want to map a POI 
or something, but getting an actual street address that could be used for 
directory linking is difficult.   Numbers are faded, damaged, or 
non-existent.    Today, I just place the POI / shop at the geographic 
location, then move on.
