Description Michael Skiba 2008-07-29 16:17:09 UTC
Version:           0.50.1 (using 4.0.4 (KDE 4.0.4 >= 20080505) "release 31.4", KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop / openSUSE_10.2)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.2-34-default

I discovered that streets like "Freiherr von Braun" will result in a screwed result since it's interpreting the "von" (German for "from") and so it makes a route out of the given adress. Anyone knows a way how to fix it?

Currently there are two workarounds either rename it to "Freiherr-von-Braun" or "Freiherr v. Braun". 

Putting the whole adress in apostrophes doesn't work.

Hej,

there is nothing KAddressBook can do to avoid that behaviour, as it is
done by GoogleMaps itself.

Ciao,
Tobias

The development of the old KAddressBook will be discontinued for KDE 4.4.
Since the new application has the same name, but a completly new code base we close all bug reports against the old version and ask the submitters to resend there reports against the new product.
