[gps-talkusers] Re: city address matching


Hi Mike,

How about if we just key in "Lagu" (incomplete word), this will force the program to present the list to the users to choose. From there we can pick whatever we need.



Have a blessed day.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] city address matching


An difficulty came up yesterday while demonstrating the GPS at a California state NFB convention regarding address matching and I thought some of you may not be familiar with the problem and solution.

The example was an address look-up for the city of Laguna in California. The first time you search on Laguna, you come up with 7 city names, all starting with the word Laguna but only one that says Laguna. Choose Laguna and complete the rest of the fields.

Now another person asks for an address in Laguna Hills, which was one of the 7 original Laguna matches found. You press Chord S and California is taken as the default state field and then Laguna is presented as the default City field. If you type in Laguna Hills, it will say city not found. Strange, you say, because you just saw Laguna Hills in the list from the last search. If you type in Laguna at this point, it just says Laguna chosen and moves on to the next field.

Come to think of it, instead of telling you the answer, I'll ask you, what is the work around? How do you find Laguna Hills in this situation?

Mike
