I just looked up an address on W Street NW in Washington, DC, but
Google Maps must have thought the W was an abbreviation for "west". It
ended up giving me an address nowhere near the actual location!

I put in "1200 w street nw, washington, dc" and got back "DC Village
Ln SW, Washington, DC 20032"

I tried this for the other "direction" streets -- N, E, and S -- and
the same thing happened. (I made sure to put in valid addresses too,
e.g. 1300 S Street NW, etc.)

I'm not really going to be checking back here -- I just wanted to put
in this bug report for the powers that be.

Thanks!

I just posted the same exact thing.  I also have been getting this
error message.  It is EXTREMELY annoying!

Yep, it's definitely a new problem with the Google Maps location
parser for the entire Washington DC area.  I posted about it here:

http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-Troubleshooting/browse_thr...

and haven't heard one lick of reply; I've also submitted feedback via
their feedback form, and IMed a Google employee to pass the info onto
the Maps team, but again, haven't heard that they're aware of the
problem.  As it stands, though, GM is totally useless in Washington
DC... frustrating.
