hi Larry, I have tried it again. Cleared all my contacts on Google. Sync works great, but I think my problem lies in the way Google uses my contacts information. As you mentioned, names and addresses are "blobs" of text.
On my Mac my Addressbook has dutch formatting. This means that an address is formatted like this: [street] [zipcode] [city] [country] So Spanning Sync loses that formatting. After sync my contact address comes up like this: [street] [city zipcode] where city and zipcode come together in 1 field That's not working for me; I am curious if it is just me or if the Mac Addressbook settings influence the syncing through Spanning Sync. I don't have the same problem when using the "native" Mac to Google addressbook sync.
