[gps-talkusers] a clue about a tricky address match

Let's say a person lives on Hermine Ct in Walnut Creek CA. When you enter 
Walnut Creek as the city, you get a match of Walnut Creek Central Contra 
Costa. That happens to be the county.

When you enter the street name of Hermine, there is no match. So, what to 
try next.

Abort the first match and try again and put Central Contra Costa in the 
city field. This time, Hermine will be matched in the street field.

Now, wouldn't it be nice if the computer just figured this out for us? It 
would indeed.

Until that happens, keep in mind the secondary name in a city match as an 
alternative if the first option doesn't bare fruit.

I don't know that this will work in all situations but I have found several 
where it does work.
