Ilive in a house with a number and a letter (say 20). The houses are
number wierdly
| 20A | 20 | 21 |
Google have it as
| 20 | 20A | 21 |
You cant read the number on streetview (though maybe internally they
have a higher resolution than showing us). But you can see the A. Quite
a few other errors. I once had a driver say "parcel for 20" "no this is
20A". "it must be 20 because my phone says so!" "But I lived here
before you had a smartphone"
Maybe a combination a semi reliable source and interpolation.
