The problem is that google only has a "name" field, and AddressBook (and any *sane* address manager) knows first, middle, last names separately. I suppose spanning sync would need to learn how to map multiple part names into their components based on your locality. I don't know how you'd do that if you have contacts from multiple parts of the world, since no single rule would apply to all names. I'll bet this problem is not solvable because google loses information when it makes all three fields into one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Spanning Sync" group.
