For example, MapQuest thinks that "1050 Ixelles" is located at the star shown at the top of this map (see <http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?mapdata=LwmywwfvnMu1jwEW6O01UhRqffltmVs1pLl0LoLefjlz3SOyLGQBVhICxzAcfyYDPVg8tHey%2bcYBzizmoT58UVMVEqOwX%2bF3D2I3fihfEmvlowEGPA0BHS%2bpqER2P1y7d%2borHVUssvU%2bj%2bvYbUfYSrRlV4kRmOkQUe%2b1ezdQhQumxxu3SMvGqocOw6qovdmOd6apcW1BY3T1kN6%2bK9joL9lWqMnWgtXiWzZlTACkWkUAep5OaUfO7Qtbe9mCbgBFFaOnxrctGGI%3d>). In truth, I live much closer to the road shown as "Ave. Moliere" near the bottom of the map.
