[gps-talkusers] Re: e: interesting and somewhat frustrating situation.

The POI database is unrelated to the map database. Therefore, just because an 
item has the correct address in the POI database, this does not mean the map 
database will geocode the address correctly. This is a good thing to understand 
as searching in the POI database is often a good work around if the address is 
not fo0und in the map address look up.
