Why does CoMaps seem to not understand addresses? (lemmy.zip)

There is a frustrating issue with the CoMaps work flow. If I copy an address from Google maps into the CoMaps search bar, the application cannot find it.

For example, if I copy the address listed for the Portland Art Museum into CoMaps search:

1219 SW Park Ave, Portland, OR 97205

The search result varies. Sometimes it is:

Southwest 18th Avenue, 1219

Sometimes it is for the entire road:

Southwest Park Avenue

Is there a syntax issue here? You would think this would be a very easy find.

Its why I don't use it. When I can put an address in it and I can actually navigate to that address, I will switch.

It does work if you have the GPS coordinates by the way. But unfortunately I can't recommend it until that issue is resolved. I think the main issue is its source data. Yes I'm aware I can add addresses, but that doesn't help me with actually using the app.
