[BC] Lat Long question

[Tom]

Probably because they don't KEEP the actual address database - merely 
the "rule" about what addresses are where; but it should get you within 
sighting distance of the address, anyway.  Those rules, btw, will vary 
from one locale to the next - not only because the numbering schemes 
vary, but stuff like "even numbers are on the east or south side of the 
street" or whatever.  The cross reference would be HUGE - the size of 
every phone book in the USA would probably be too small by orders of 
magnitude.
