I've never been to Liverpool, but Google reckons that it is called "Queens Way" rather than "Queen Avenue". Then, it seems that number 7 exists on Dale Road, but not on Queens Way. This works: 7 Dale Road, Liverpool, Merseyside, L2 4TZ Anyway, how often do your offices move? ;-) I guess that it doesn't happen too often, so you can just find the coordinates you're missing and hardcode them into your XML file. -- Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu -- >From contacting the office, this is the correct address > but Queen Avenue is a walk way rather than a road.
