I would be very much interested in a program like that looks quite
interesting, where did you get it from ?
Caracas, where I work has a very nasty habit, all streets and avenues are
with names, so sometimes the client tells me to go to the
Urbanization -------(Name)----------- which is 3Kms wide search for
Ave-------(Name)-------- which happens to be 3.5 Kms across and gess what,
somewhere in that 3.5 kms there is a house, which also has a name, so you
have to drive 3.5Kms looking at each house name, sometimes to find out that
you arrived to the wrong one, example: some name houses after saints !!!
and sometimes you get two "San Judas Tadeo" the most common in the same road
(that is a mess)   and it only happens here, when you go out of the capital
city (Caracas) new cities are numbered (no logic involved)
