Hi
I asked for 1201 Burton Drive Cambria, Ca.
Twice, without then with 'Drive' added,  I got this:  1201 Berwick, [next to 1221]

[ and, but yes!, I would like/love/utterly adore much more and so, effective contrast: -1 all those numbers in black, like road names, -2 much clearer building shapes, now no obvious outline, all now light very sun bleached faded brown, -3 thus a stunning lack of contrast with numbers to read on houses /etcet era/, and -4 much (yes much more) well bleached printing in multi-grey not black-white -- I do not know about colour, but hmmm ... --.

Totally different structural issue: I want to have markers on many addresses, often different pick-up/drop-off each day, here in Cambria**. Using BatchGeo.com they make/I get the maps "courtesy" Google. They would be stunning in OpenStreet , oh with not pastel shades of light grey Google, OpenStreetMap produce. Think about an A-Z Someplace map book page. You know, very 'legi and able'. 
**We run the Cambria Community Bus^ service to help people who do not drive to all the sorts of places they do need to go and back home. I suspect Treezy May hmm would not actually approve of this, for it is a very social aka Social activity, but one of the many social -isms widely used despite ... .

so as you well understand and certainly SWIM, address mapping can often be very FriarTuck in Hades useful. ]
