Google Maps on iPhone Address Correction Bug

-

i've discovered pretty major bug haven't seen reported elsewhere, strangely. it's in iphone's google maps app. bug occurs when enter address spell wrong or leave out character. program brings dialog saying "did mean?" , gives list of possible corrections. these matches. however, when click on one, doesn't go address click on! goes city.

example, i've been able replicate many times both on phone , on phone in 5th ave apple store (in front of surprised employee), if i'm viewing part of new york, ny, , search "5th ave , 26 ny ny", searches , suggests following list:

"5th ave & 26th st., brooklyn, kings,..."
"w 26th st & 5th ave, new york, ne..."
"e 26th st & 5th ave, new york, new..."

perfect. except when click on 1 of them, zooms out city view of new york, ny. deletes had entered, , replaces new york, ny.

seems major bug me. real piece of functionality (auto-correcting addresses) missing. weird thing hadn't noticed (i think) before first update (1.0.1). maybe bug introduced then? admit @ 1 point hacked iphone (just installed applications), have since restored it, , able replicate on iphone in apple store. don't think due hacking (or bug in iphone in particular).

said, has else noticed this? can else replicate it? new york city? me?
 

my experience has been google maps go target address in "did mean?" drop pin on city location. perhaps in denser cities more variables?

i'm disappointed in currys' online service. ordered 16gb touch, once had received confirmation email realised address had wrong house number. tried call them, , bounced around 5 different phone numbers (some repeated, different instructions!) , turned out best advice give me cancel order, , order again change house number! how outrageous. anyway, cancelled order , didnt bother ordering again. time i'm going official apple store. it'll take few more days deliver, better discount voucher. oh, know lazy , myself, apple store's refund policy, if find touch not me can return within 28 days, if isnt defective? because i'd rather have classic?   oh dear god... thought had cancelled it. turns out happened call again due lack of confirmation on cancellation, , said not possible me cancel order had apparently been dispatched already. summing up, have wait ipod (whi...
