Search results great... until you try to check in.
The search results are usually quite accurate, but when you click on a result the address on that location's page is often wrong! Why isn't the address from the search results used???
Example: search for "lowes" near "Stafford, VA". The first search result gives the address "1330 Stafford Market Pl, Stafford, VA" which I know to be correct. But when you go to the page for that location, the address is listed as "VA, USA".
When I'm trying to check in or add a placemark, this sucks. The only way I've found to get around this (sometimes) is to search for the actual address, making sure to misspell the street name! In the example above, search for "1330 Staff Market Pl, Stafford, VA [Lowe's]" instead (note misspelling of "Stafford"). This will bring you to the result page with the correct address.

Inappropriate?Wizard04, I tried a business search in Stafford, VA for "lowes" and when I clicked on the first result, with the address you specified, I got this place page:

Does that look correct?

Inappropriate?That's correct, but for some reason when I click on the first result I get this page:

Now I'm getting the same results as you and I can't reproduce the original (correct) listing that I got. We will have to look into this and see what's going on.
