Typical Application Examples
Numbered Street Examples
In a typical mobile application, you would allow the application to identify your geographic location. Your location will also determine the default country. For the purposes of these examples, we will assume that the default is USA, but you can change this to any supported country. See GeoComplete Coverage for a list of available countries.
