I have just realized my spiral algorithm is not very good if you pick a position very far from any street cause the spiral is like this:
The points represent where the program searches for a Location containig a street. So, if the spiral grows very much, the points would finish being very far one from another. I will try to correct this with more searching points between points from corners.

Hi,

The way I do this is following:

- first check if we are on a street of course
- then make a circle with radius of 5 meter, and start scanning the cirucmfence of the circle with a resolution of 5 meter.
- if no address found at >= 360 degree then increase radius of circle with 5 meter, and start scanning again on circumfence with 5 meter resolution
- this repeat until address is found or until a certain maximum

I try to post some code this eve if I dont forget it
