I'm suspecting a big conspiracy here, as it found my house (well, it
located very near the end of my street, which is close enough), but
can't find my parents house either...

When I was growing up our address was "route 2", city, state, zip.
They named the streets about 20 years ago but that address isn't
found by the program.
