Concerning the auto complete, I wish there were a way to force it to complete to the most commonly used location to what you are typing. For example, there's a Putnam County, Florida and a Putnam County, Georgia. I have 1 entry for the FL county and 37 for the GA county. I haven't worked on the line that lived in FL for years, but I'm working on the GA family recently. I have to type allll the way to the G for Georgia to get it to complete correctly. That county isn't always in my last 10 locations either. Another example is Georgetown, South Carolina vs. the state of Georgia. I have 3 entries for Georgetown, South Carolina and 270 for Georgia. Sure, it's just a few letters, but still a PITB.
