+1 In Japan, text input is historically very difficult in a car GPS Navi situation (smartphones are changing this), so the Navi has a phone number associated with almost any business or attraction in its database, so you would search by phone number to get the destination into the Navi. Even parks and sports grounds (baseball fields, etc) have a phone number associated with them, so phone= is a very useful field - not for contact, but for location lookup.
