Queens, New York Addresses

In most of Queens, NY (and perhaps other areas), MapPoint returns the cross street as an address but not the specific address.

Example: '1950 48th Street, 11105' is on 48th Street and the nearest cross street is 19 Ave, but there are many addresses on that block.

MapPoint seems to do this in many areas of Queens. Other map sources like MapQuest, Yahoo and Street Atlas don't have this problem.

Any thoughts?

This is really disappointing. What's the sense giving us an API if MS is going to cripple it in favor of the web service? (ie, not exposing the lat/long).
