This question may be an old one which has already been addresses, but at any rate--my question is, when you do a search for points of interest either clicking a common one or by typing one out in search, and then a listing is produced (if you click "list view" or whatever), how come now the listing doesn't bother to just TELL you what the address and phone number are without you clicking on it first?
In other words, if someone says "I'm broken down at the Family Dollar on Broadway" in the city of Wilmington NC (assuming there is such place) so you do a search for "Family Dollar Wilmington NC" and a listing is produced, it should look like this:
Family Dollar 1532 E 10th Street (252)-123-4573
Family Dollar 3921 N Eastman Road (252)-321-9999
Family Dollar 9502 W Broadway Blvd (252)-999-9999
Family Dollar 7832 S Hooker Rd (252)-999-9999
From there, you can quickly see "a ha, there it is" and also have the store's phone number if you need it.
Instead, the listing tends to NOT show anything but the Family Dollar name and how far it is, it will say NOTHING about a given's address unless you tap on it, which means you'd have to tap on every single one until the one with Broadway in its name was the one.
That is just asinine. Why in the WORLD do they do that?
This, in fact, is one of the main reasons why I now use Waze instead (yet sometimes Waze will give a really crazy route that has you go 20 miles out of the way and then u-turn to return at the stop 20 miles back where you should've turned to start with), or I use the Superpages app, which incidentally is the only 411 type of app I've tried which shows the address and phone number in "list" view, the other ones I've tried hide the phone number in "list" view, which makes absolutely no sense to me.
Thoughts?
