When I tap and hold on Fountayne Road I get (Clapton) or (South Tottenham).
TTN5.2 GBmap605.

Checked further.
Tried Salisubury Road, tap and hold ranges from (Manor House) to (Chingford). Where a long file name exists eg "Salisubury Road (Manor House)" the font size is reduced to accomodate wheres "Salisubury Road (Leyton)" appears in the standard font size.
May be a version issue.

I still can't understand why the large font is giving problems.

Take Salisbury Road for example.

If you Navigate to Address and enter Manor House, Salisbury Road you'll see it's in N4, select it and enter house number.

If you enter Chingford you'll see Salisbury Road, select and enter house number.

The only way the large font could cause a problem is if the address is entered incorrectly.

e.g. Salisbury Road, London. There are 11.

The address you could be looking for is Salisbury Road, Walthamstow.

Instead of entering London in the Address, just enter Walthamstow and you'll see just one Salisbury Road.

The same applies to the other 10. Smile

Just steer clear of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch :P

No. Why? Because if you search for address you would either enter Looe (PL13) or Liskeard (PL14), and if you know and enter the full postcode there's no problem there either.

I'll have to pay some of her relatives a visit and get them to come and sort you out. :D :P :D


Well I was just being general as per the original question, but if you are not told the town/village, just told the address was Springfield Road possible either PL14 or PL13 you wouldn't and that could said for most of country, mind you, having dug a map out I have found 5 Springfield Roads in Cornwall, so without a town/village and postcode, just imaging all the driving you could do Laughing

Sort me out what? A drink at the Jubilee Confused :D

Ok, I'll get the relatives (in-law) to give you two quarts of home made 'Scrumpy' and let you loose on Banjo Pier. :P

I had some back in the seventies. My skin has nearly grown back and my throat is almost back to normal. Laughing
