iPhone Maps Search pads "City, ZIP USA" twice !!!!
Using iPhone Google Map search:
PROCEDURE:
If I search "160 waltwhitman, NY 11747" the map returns no search results found.
iPhone actually locates it as "160 walt whitman rd, huntington station, new york 11746".
PROBLEM:
But doesnt show on map. Instead says "No search result found"
but it appends " united states of america" two times and confuses itself in locating it.
ROOT CAUSE:
It pads the search string with repeat city, zip country information and confuses itself.
Like this: "160 walt whitman rd, huntington station, new york 11746 united states huntington station, new york 11746 united states"
I have to go back and remove the duplicate entries in search box everytime to get the address located on map. Then it spots the locaion in a flash.
RESOLUTION:
This happens to me many a times. I can reproduce this issue almost everywhere. I am sure there would be more users with same problem. This isnt a big problem, but does look like a bug in code. probablt a city,zip, country function is called twice or the buffer is reffered twice. I think Apple/Google should check this code. When a search is made with incomplete area description, this problem of double padding occurs.
BTW address in example is Apple Retail store address in New York.
Happy code fixing
