I applaude the effort - but there are plenty of places where this falls apart. The most glaring I can think of is Nicaragua - where addresses are described based on landmarks:
Eg "From the Calvario Church, 1 block south, half a block east"

- civilian 14y agoTo be fair, a lot of things fall apart in Nicaragua. I remember visiting some distant relatives in Sweden and the directions we got were all "take the 3rd light down, and then you'll pass the park, swing a right..." There were road names, my great-aunt just didn't know them. It worked, but it was not a great system.
