Keypad mapper is wonderful because you are not as conspicuous when using
pen and paper.  I've tried using ranges were I drop the leading two digits
while entering five digit numbers.  There's a bunch of post processing when
you actually enter the data.  With any technique that I use, I always feel
like Billy in the family circus.  It is amazing where people put
addresses.  Commercial buildings can be the worst case to try and find the
number.
