Why is it that Google Maps won’t read Menomonee Falls Addresses but Bing will?
Our unique address format provides the blocks and centiblocks from I-94 and the lakefront aren’t used that widely, but appear to be used in Germantown, Jackson, Sussex, Okauchee, Merton, parts of Hartland and Pewaukee.
For outsiders, who wonder what I’m talking about here’s a sample address from across the country:
101 Elm Street, Somewhere, NC (101 – means first house on Elm street)
12345 W. Capitol Dr., Brookfield, WI (12345 – 123.45 blocks west of the lakefront on Capitol Drive)
N69 W12703 Appleton Ave, Menomonee Falls (how locals write out the address, which is technically incorrect)
N69W12703 Appleton Ave, Menomonee Falls (how the Post Office says the address is supposed to be: 69 blocks North of I-94, and 127.03 blocks west of the lakefront)
However, since I-94 is not a straight line, neither is the lake front, they all eminate from an arbitrary point. However, each centiblock is a consistent 3.3 feet, because 16 blocks = 1 mile in the greater Milwaukee area.
If anyone has further knowledge on the origin of the MF Address system or if Google will ever properly give directions to addresses in the Falls and solve the problem, please share 
Otherwise, it’s Bing for us .
