Combination of "'s-G" in both city and street name and a non-existing house number caused a crash.


THey should learn to name their cities better...

eh Lutz, where did info that come from? That's not the Belgium problem.

The Belgium problem were actually 2 problems:
1. map of Belgium had sorted all streets and towns sorted per arrondissement, administrative area, instead of per county. This resulted in showing streets in all towns in the area, instead of only for the town/county you entered.

2. Sorting of street results was done on alphabet, with the result of a street in the major city of administrative area on top. It was not clear that this was not your street, so you could end up 20 miles away from your target. This is not specific to Belgium.

Part 1 is a map problem which can be solved with new maps. You can probably buy those with the next upgrade.

Part 2 is solved by the new update. You now get the street of the town you initially entered on top and then the rest. I believe the rest of identical streetnames are listed by distance
