Thread: Philippines Road Guide v1.24 img+ orig. MS vers.

Is the search address in 1.24 accurate? I tried searching an address with a house number but it doesn't exactly pinpoint the house. It just leads mo the street itself but isn't too much accurate on determining the exact location of that specific house number. Is this normal?

This is normal. The location of a house number within a road segment is interpolated from the house numbers of the road segment's two end points. So far, only City Navigator Taiwan has additional map data which can pinpoint a house number accurately.

Is this even a question?

In layman's terms, the GPS seems to like "guess" house numbers only? Can't we add the house numbers data in the map itself?

The interpolated location found by address search should be close to your real destination, at least on the same road segment as your destination. So following the directions of navigation software should still take you to where you want to go, just double check the house number when you arrive.

If the map is in OF format, you may be able to add a particular house number and recompile the map. But I never tried this before. It is out of the question if the map is in NT format. In either case, one thing you can try is to find the exact location through Google Map's street view, if available, then add a waypoint (with coordinates of the location found) to your navigation software as destination.
