Mr Chumley-Warner
I am having a problem with the Outlook Live Local component for mapping.
The integration looks good and in theory should provide a very usefull
service, however I am getting very frustrated by its apparent inability to
produce accurate results when searching for a location when it has been
given VERY accurate address data to search by.
Example (Random location taken from the phone book and address checked with
various services.)
Marken close, Locksheath, Southampton. UK SO31 6GG is an accurate address
and when searched for directly in local.live.com produces a
'nearest-match' result that is useable if not absoloutly accurate, however,
use EXACTLY the same address in the 'live local' plugin for Outlook and it
returns 10 locations in the US and one in the Netherlands even with the
string "UK" in the address.
Anyone got any ideas as to where this difference occurs? Are the two systems
using different databases or is it a forms issue?
