| Newbie: Need help with plotting Canadian locations mapFindResults = GCSMapControl.ActiveMap.FindAddressResults("391 CALEDONIA RD", "YORK", , "ON", "M6E MT8", MapPoint.GeoCountry.geoCountryCanada) If I remove the last three characters from the postal code, it plots correctly. mapFindResults = GCSMapControl.ActiveMap.FindAddressResults("391 CALEDONIA RD", "YORK", , "ON", "M6E", MapPoint.GeoCountry.geoCountryCanada) Am I doing something wrong? Thank you         |

Hey Mdsawyer This is not 102% certain but it has been my experience that the Canadian postal codes are not implmented in MapPoint. For example, return results for an address always has a blank postal code in Canada. I would assume it goes the other way. When geocoding an address a Canadian postal code is ignored. Check out Canadian airport codes same thing. I know this is no help but at least you know you're not alone in facing this challenge. Ciao,
