I am in the process of changing how I enter addresses. My mother and father lived at 5514 North Newcastle Avenue, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States. I have entered the street address in the description field, but this does not give the correct location on the map. I have therefore started entering the full address in the "Place" field, this then locates the address on bing map as I wish to have it shown. I now use the "Description" field to enter whether we lived in a house or an apartment. This works as I wish to have things, so I am in the process of changing my address information, for all in my database.
