Also, do not fully rely on Google Maps knowing house numbers. Looks like in some areas (in UK for example) Google used some sort of OCR to find house numbers. There are houses and Wales with random house numbers that only have a house name; Numbering ends a few houses into dead-end alley where the Street View car didn't come; Or totally wrong numbers where house number sings are hard to read.

- aganumb 4y agoSearching for my address just straight up doesn't work. Named house rather than a number, and the postcode isn't a particular street but covers a number of little tracks up to various farms. I also don't have a road name. The address syntax is: Building name Town County Post code The combination of no road and no number means Google absolutely fails. It just gives suggestions of businesses nearby... Ish.
