Ah, well that gives me information to manipulate the searches, but unfortunately Google's accuracy for that sort of things isn't all that great in some parts of the world.

One suggestion to fix this would be to have user entered data, centrally available. I have a diet / 'calorie counter' program that works this way. When a user enters data on a new food or brand, that is transmitted to a central server and included in new search results.

With OF members actually entering data about locations, we could quickly build up an accurate database of stores, in addition to the ones provided by Google maps.

Even if not centralised, it would be helpful to be able to share such databases with others.
